To Every Man His Chimera

Not you again, I thought you died I thought you were killed on your wedding night Not you again, hypocrite You've come to ask me to kill you again, is that it? Not you again, I'm no fool twice I've heard the wolf tracking in the ice Peel off the latex, fair-weather friend Is that supposed to be a nose? No, not you again

Oh, Mary Don't weep down on me "I don't need a host to live" Oh, Mary I'm just too much to carry Mary

Not you again, my grandmother's Lord Another friend like that, I can't afford California makes me sick Like trying with a rattlesnake your teeth to pick Everyone I know gossips endlessly Everyone I know suffers just like me Have you come back for your saddle, to squat like a hen? Why are you even here? No, not you again

Oh, Mary Don't weep down on me "I don't need a host to live" Oh, Mary I'm just too much to carry Mary

The wind knocked down the chicken coop The cat left a rat's carcass on my front stoop Once again, I've been seduced Now it looks like my chickens have come home to roost
