The smoke machine and the microphone descending
the pissed MC and the ticket taker’s grin
Walk in like a half-breed superhero
painted, sweaty entourage of men.
Opera for the dim and hard of thinking
Marti Gras meets the Charles Atlas plan
Karoake conflict of Samsons
Get out while they beat the concession man.
We are there now
We are there now
This is the bone-crushing fabled war
it’s the same as the night before
A cheap parade gorilla men
the five minute calculated tragedy begins
New ones learn to appreciate the acting
old ones wish for the grand asylum times
Me, I think it’s nice work if you can get it
Kaufman saw the whole thing as sublime
We are there now
We are there now
This is the bone-crushing fabled war
it’s the same as the night before
A cheap parade of gorilla men
the five minute calculated tragedy
It’s a bone-crushing fabled war
A held-breath, hand-held kilowatt hour
this is a homoerotic dance
last rites for the Adonis, captain comic man
