Street signs you never saw
You got manny in the library
Working off his hangover 3:30
You get the spleen at 3:15
The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me
His mother was a cleaning lady
She had a large black dog
I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house
The lawn was littered with cans of barbican
There was a feminist's austin maxi parked outside
With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side
...on the inside and they didn't even smoke...
Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me
"i'll take both of you on,
I'll take both of you on"
Then he seemed the young one
He had a parka on and a black cardboard archbishop's hat
With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones
He'd just got back from the backward kids' party
Anyway then he seemed the young one
But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom
Street signs you never saw
On the first floor of the dryout house
Sorta went out of window, over the lawn
"please take this medallion,
Please wear this medallion.
It's no sign of authority.
Wear the gold and put it on"
Man on the first floor said
"and my youth it was sold"
Two white doves cross the sky
And sometimes, that little.....
The mad kid had 4 lights, the average is 2.5 lights
The mediocre has 2 lights, the sign of genius is three lights
There's one light left, that's the one light
