Back of a Truck

She lifted the monument in her monumental arms

She was the mother superior with carry-on luggage charms

She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door

She had eaten her dog and he was back for more back for more

Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat sock demi god

Her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod

Her front porch gave way beneath classified weight

And when the ambulance came they said it's much too late oh it's much too late

Now the people of New Guinea and the people of LA

Have been pen pals for years cause they both hate ballet

Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway

But the news bulletin claims it's gonna be ok

Now Miss Lucy had a sweatshop where the immigrants worked

Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the twelve o'clock stroke

Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X

That was when the alien geraniums demanded the facts

No violence off course no violence off course hey no violence off course. Off course? Why yes, of course

Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long

The TV gets quiet as we hear a real bad song

The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue

And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs

There's a back of a truck selling alien pods

There's a back of a truck selling game show hosts

There's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead

There's a back of a truck selling crumb free bread

There's a back of a truck selling the back of a car

There's a back of a car selling roadway maps

There are roadway maps selling the back of a head

Hey how much for that back of a head, man?

Hey wait a minute that's my back of a head

Hey you can't sell that man

That's mine

Hey sell it back to me man

Hey sell it back to me

It's mine!

She lifted the monument in her monumental arms

She was the mother superior with carry-on luggage charms

She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door

She had eaten her dog and he was back for more
