Thimbledrone Lyrics

What’s the matter? Who cares?

People running everywhere,

Running like decapitated chickens in the rain.

Never mind the poultry, I’d rather stay at home

I hope that my old lady’s feeling like a lazy Jane

No one really thinks I’m funny,

Not the way that she does

She is stranger more than fiction, 

Dictionary definition.

Why don’t we go take a drive and why don’t we take your car?

Mine is nearly out of gas and nearly broken down.

Lighter flame and cheap Bordeaux 

And incense wafting in the air

Steal a kiss and listen to the sound of falling rain

Never mind your diet,

I’d rather stuff our guts

Making funny faces on the windowpane

We run, we run, we run

And we’re happy inside of this place

The walls are half the fun

‘Cause anarchy stays in its space

Huddled in the pilot’s seat our tanks are filled with Thimbledrome.

We check the dash and turn the motor on.

Never mind the man in orange;

We know our own way home.

We crush him flat and shoot into the sky.

There’s a baby on its way because of what we do so much,

Shooting like a comet from the other end of space.

Someday (I don’t know which one)

A pair of little feet will come

Creeping like a monkey with a creepy little face

And I will spank that monkey, spank that monkey,

Spank that monkey if it gets out of line.

And I will spank that monkey, spank that monkey,

And he’ll thank me someday when I’m seventy-nine.

We run, we run, we run

And we’re happy inside of this place.

The walls are half the fun

‘Cause anarchy stays in its space.

Allow me to extend to you a special invitation to

Watch the wrinkles form upon my face as I grow old.

Christmastime and Halloween and all the days that lie between

Hand in hand we’ll watch as all the years unfold.
