Harness Your Hopes

Harness your hopes

Harness your hopes

on just one person

because you know a harness

was only made for one

Don't telegraph your passes

You'll end up with molasses

cauterized in syrup

And syrup and molasses

And I'm checking out the asses

The assets that attract us

To anything that moves

We're deep inside the grooves

And it's time to shake the rations

cause someone's gonna cash in

The plot it turns again

The reference starts at ten

Well show me

A word that rhymes with Pavement

And I won't kill your parents

And roast them on a spit

And a-don't you try to etch it

Or permanently sketch it

Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold

And the freaks have stormed the white house

I moved into a lighthouse

It's on a scenic quay

It's oh so far away

Far away from the beginning

The shroud is made of linen

The yearling took the purse

The goth kid has a hearse

Heart-breaking

Earth-quaking

Kiwis they are home baking

Minds wide open truly

Leisure

A leisure suit is nothing

It's nothing to be proud of

In this late century

And I'm asking you to hold me

Just like the morning paper

Pinched between your pointer

Your index and your thumb

It's a semi-automatic

Believers are ecstatic

You see the way they cling

The cold metallic sting

And I'm living in a coma

For Donna de Varona

The harness made of hopes

The lovers on the ropes

Nun is to church

As the parrot is to perch

And my Heart's

Wide open Truly
