Bonemeal
Night of the Porch People, 1998

Are you scattered, she said
Little too much poison for your dreams
'Cause the Tao is showing me
Unrelated places and stories and things
Get too excited to see what's under my feet
Tired of selling my soul door to door and down the street
Having coffee with a dinosaur out of my cereal box

So tell me, she said
If you can point out where it all went wrong
But if you stay with me tonight
Might sing you a dirty love song

Potted plants grouped in threes and fours and fives
Kinda look like we do
The neighbors always like to spy
Stop to read my I-Ching
Off the back of my cereal box
(repeat twice)

So move a little closer my dear
A plaid breeze is blowing through my pen
Oooh chocolate covered backflip, trampoline,
Bounce you out of the lion's den

Show me home where I can grow my own weed
Captain Crunch is telling me to take this shit less seriously
I'll seranade the moonshine
Love you through my bones
(repeat twice)
