Mr. Reilly

well there's a Mr. Reilly who swears

that in Baton Rouge Louisiana,

they don't care about, his philosophy

he swears that any time in Baton Rouge

everything is the same

well we stared into the cup,

but we could not see the bottom

he was drinking muddy water

as a river deep

a cup a day to curb visibility

all those nasty notions go away

well had you heard the news

about Joan our ex-newspaper girl?

they found her swinging from a tree

and i know

just a week ago, she was beautiful

but now now now shes rather vile

they found her by the frozen lake,

but it wasn't frozen enough to skate

and by the look on her face,

it must've been awful tempting

they found her in her skates

she was the coldest cadaver in the state

and look at the lake

not even the ducks are resting on it
