Never been to Mexico
|
It's only half a mile or so
|
the mission on the bluff, below
|
Don't get out much
|
Crow tastes like chicken meat
|
And I've heard cats land on their feet
|
If that's a lie
|
I want you to delete it
|
|
Was mystified
|
Took a Greyhound for a ride
|
And by Arcadia
|
decided I'd be Steven
|
Now we're even
|
|
Please do not take offense
|
Salute, two fingers, standard squat
|
Jabbed the bag without a sense
|
that you knew half what I forgot
|
|
One tug-of-war that pulled me in
|
and furthermore, it tipped the balance
|
either/or
|
Was so deceiving
|
It's best I leave in
|
Now we're even
|
|
We're caught inside an undertow
|
I don't know how to overthrow
|
|
Cocks crow and dogs will bark
|
You are swimming in the dark
|
On tenderloin a hungry shark is feeding
|
|
I'm warm and dry
|
and as the water table's high
|
it's pointless to identify
|
my destination
|
So anchors aweigh
|
And if I do my own self say
|
there wasn't any better way
|
I was conceiving
|
|
Now we're even
|

Now We're Even
