lyrics

Bought a jacket at the market today
the market burned down
saw a man fly from a window
in the corner of my eye
tiny dogs were killing ladies
who had no decency to bow
there were priests spraying graffiti
on police cars going by

A little girl was selling condoms
after her father had come round
saw a fish going eighty
in a fifty mile zone
shook hands with Tommy Waits
outside his favourite liquor store
shot billiards with a lion
who had been raped by a Capricorn

Snook up behind a blind man
shot a bullet thru his head
sold a dead man my last warning
for his gold watch & his pet
walked alone on moonlit drive-ways
& played cards with Johnny Doe
lit a cigarette against a lamppost
smoked it up blowing my horn

Chased a dog that stole my wallet
after he'd bit me in the balls
got beat up by policemen
who were drinking on the job
a bell was striking midnight
but it was only ten a clock
now I wish I were a mountain
with icy snow on top my head

What a day, what a day this is
