System of Usher

John Cage gets into the airport
But the airport is not into him
And so they agree to part amicably
And Cage takes the train into town
Ants have a system of governance
From which one could learn, I dare say
But when I get an ant on the tip of my tongue
I spit it away with a cry
I have a dear friend, Captain Harlock
And he sits at a table of wood
Lapping my words up, because he has heard that
Some words are better than food
I love throwing rocks at the tigers
As they cower in their cage at the zoo
But now that the weather is colder
I'd rather be throwing those tigers at you
An old electrician from Bremen
Took a frazzled electrical cord
Connected one end to the Devil
The other he lashed to the Lord
Everyone's murdered by Charlie
Or would be if they lived long enough
He moves in and grows in the holes of your nose
And sooner or later you snuff
This is the problem with dreamers
They're all sitting safe as a house
For all the world, sirs, as the earthquake occurs
As if butter would melt in our mouth
The fall of the system of Usher
Was achieved by a triumph of will
The clown as a proxy for Mother
And Daddy takes care of the bill
The loneliness of Kaspar Hauser
Strange thoughts occur in the brain
If you want to stay strong, make up little songs
To stop you from going insane
So John Cage gets into the airport
But the airport is not into him
They agree that it's key to live separately
And Cage takes the train into town
And everyone's murdered by Charlie
Or would be if they lived long enough
He moves in and grows in the holes of your nose
And sooner or later you snuff
