Mr.What

while patrolling the streets and the alleys, to the beat of his feet and his cain, adapting some orphan tobacco that was turned into soup by the rain;
his name was mister.. what happened to the dream? fell in love with a broken Barbie, and gave his fool heart away.
he had the pick of the women for ears; now it's the pick of his nose and his ears,
as he wakes to the dawn's alley light; but his eyes are all closed for repairs...
now tell me, mister.. what happened to the dream? fell in love with a broken Barbie, and gave his fool heart away.

now the kids have all graduated from their ten speeds to their coke, and the wife got remarried to the chauffeur for a joke; so he smeared the bed with garlic spread and painted all the windows red and filled the family car with smoke.

[not in this recorded version: while dripping with fever, and burning with pain, he made plastic love to his doll in the rain...]

while patrolling the streets and the alleys, the officer viewed, with alarm,
the body of a half­naked toy, with a broken up man in her arms.
now tell me mister, what happened to the dream? fell in love with a broken Barbie, and gave his fool heart away; now you can turn his blue heart to grey...
