I was kidney stoned, driving home on a Friday afternoon
I put Jonny in the green basket out in the hall
Nothing is funnier than four ugly men sitting on a wall
Each holding a rubber chicken

Do you feel restless? Slowed down?
Tried? Down on yourself?
Suffer from poor concentration?
Depressed mood? Change in appetite?
Diminished interest in activities?
Poor sleep habits?
If you have two more of these symptoms…
Be your beautiful self

The beast is back!
I’m pissed and horny but getting along
You don’t know me
I wore the Shark Expedition shirt
And a bad haircut

Elation—Depression
More American than ordinary men and women
Don’t let them psyche you out!
You can take it with you
You never have to die

Maturing? Serious thought! Time for counseling
It’s easy to be a happy timer
Come and get it, sure to satisfy
Are you afraid to be alone? Don’t laugh!
Galileo was wrong, you’ll be hooked for life

Enjoy the strange
Play the uncanny
Drink the incredible
Strip naked
Talk to strangers
Learn to let go
Have a drink before noon
Stay up late
Wake the dead

It’s no fun to say goodbye

fate is not just
whose cooking smells good
but which way the wind blows
