monster show - america addio lyrics

i want some new faces, new diseases
no-net flying trapezes
hottentots and the siameses
the full monster show

i stand firsthand historian
baptized in texts victorian
explore the ugly orient
distill it down for you

like jacob renamed israel
and this land connecticut
you just resect necrotic narratives
transplanting one that fits
we’ll write the scripts and the stage exits
and characters to be
we’ll rewrite our own taxonomy
to all those looking for work:
i can’t hear what you’re saying
while you’re playing
the world’s smallest violins

one half taishuh another half turk
breeding mutatis mutandis
holding panspecial congress
in the halls of washington

and so i trolled all through
that land of children
fireflies and open fists
redressed those devils up in ivory
teams of top hat alchemists
i’ll groom these victims in youth
into dictums of truth
and the penny presses will be kind to me
i want the bodies of giants
you don’t find in the west
i want the mermaids hand made and
sunk down in fijian depths
so raise your fists and paws
cast off mendel’s laws
a story is all you’ve got left

and in the temple of the gold pavillion
in the b-ttresses of the notre dame
in the sooty city subway lyceum
descrying tea leaves, eyes and palms
and they’ve found out the forer effect
your own unconscious architect
we’ve got something for everyone
