CHORUS:
a homefried recorder
an unpublished author
(arv: “believe me he’s dreadful…”)
a headful of corny ideas ‘neath dirty white hair…
(arv: “we DON’T wanna go there…)
he gave up work in the sixties
(though SO not a hippy)
gave up men in the eighties
now he’s HIV-free and “clean”
(whatever that means)
(he seems pretty dirty to me)
(SOLO:)
a handful of secrets to share
BRIDGE:
his sister writes about movies
just so her poor bastard brother can eat
tried killing himself on benadryl pills
but he still won’t admit defeat
i deemed him deviant and sexually obscene
(now he wants to kill me)
