Only Slightly Evicted

Took an arrow to the marrow
A little pink in the sink
Looking for my Zelda
Dropping on you like Link
Secondhand terrorist
Running out of relevance
Kid of nature lyricist
Red-nosed innocence
Back from the blocked streets
Hot from the cops cleats
People counting down
As if it were New Year’s Eve
Got my hands in my hair
Helicopters keep in the air
We just came to stand by
Now it’s time, Occupy

Say you Occupy my bedroom
Consider it, I’m very literate
We’ll play it by ear which I hear
Means very soon
You could be the 1%
Who actually gives a shit
I’d do my bit and we’d
Keep with this friendship
Look, I’m not saying
That it’s hard to get on
But it’s tough to get a hard-on
When you’re all over Facebook

Now Occupy is over
Its pillowcase hung over
We need you, red rover
Red rover, help us get by
We’re smoking all the clovers
To get lucky & a little high
Let’s meet at the rotunda
Beneath smoke and black thunder
I’m not shooting too straight
But I’m not aiming for your mother
I’ve got my sights trained onto the moon
And though I may not jazz June
I’m slicing the cocoon open
Drinking water like it’s vodka
Hoping that I’m coping
And forever fascinated by the
Stars in the sidewalk

So jump on your dinosaur
Keep on the go
Better run it like you want it through
The grass-green side-scroll
If you fall off just know that
It’s not your fault
But if you want another mushroom
You’ll have to vote for Ron Paul
I’m a long-haired addict
A furry sort of flurry
Carving holes in the wall
Like a twice-bitten attic mouse
Wanted two 7’s
and instead I got a full house
If this shit falls in
I’ll be living in a lighthouse

Santa’s coming early
No time, no long goodbye
But Whoville’s unemployment rate’s
Climbing like a sad kite
Where are you Christmas?
What is this sickness?
Molting feathers from the eagle
Dropping through the grey sky
Wasn’t missing all the cold
Now I’m back though
Breaking off icicles from the silver flagpole
Spinning through the blizzard
Though tempted I’m to miss her
You know I like to swim
Where the water’s most shallow
