Day 8

Jelly Jack - The Residents

I'm Jello Jack the jolly boneless boy

I live inside a jar beside the rooster

Boy named Roy

They pour me out upon a platform

And the people stare

At eyeballs in a pool of flesh

Surrounded by some hair

I wish I was a cowboy or

Maybe just a bird

Singing simple melodies

That no one every heard

Soaring with the winter winds

And bringing in the spring

Sharing air with orioles and

Bumblebee that sting

And making babies proud of

All the bugs that I would bring

I'd sit up high above the ground

And laugh as I looked down

At all the silly humans as they

Slowly trudged around

But as I see the end of evening

Turn into the night

The bird inside my brain becomes

A light that is too bright

The bird inside my brain becomes a light

That is too bright

Too bright

Too bright

Too bright

Too bright
