A Fable

A long time ago in the land of dread

Along came a man who lost his head said

"Be careful what you do be careful what you say

Be careful of the things that you do today

For if you do I'm telling you

You'll never spend a moment feeling blue"

And then he jitterbugged with a wave of his hand

And dittybopped off to the promised land

A long time ago in the land of nod

Along came a woman with a smokin' hot bod said

"Be careful what lust for be careful what you need

Be careful where you think you want to plant a seed

And if you heed these words today

You'll find yourself flush money come payday"

And then she strutted long-legged down the street

A cougar in search of some fresh new meat

Legends fables and fairytales are eating at your brain

Kings and Queens and wolverines are gaining their free reign

God and monsters and science fiction creatures claim your soul

As further down your poor mind slips into that deep dark hole.

A long time ago in the land of dreams

Along came a kid come apart at the seams said

"Be careful what you wish for be careful with your heart

Be careful of the things that will tear you apart

And if you listen to the words I've said

You just might save your precious head"

And then he stumbled off without another word

Another lost child still looking to be cured

Legends fables and fairytales are eating at your brain

Kings and Queens and wolverines are gaining their free reign

God and monsters and science fiction creatures claim your soul

As further down your poor mind slips into that deep dark hole.

A short time ago in the land of now

The same damn things happen anyhow

Be careful what you hear be careful what you read

Be careful where you think you wanna let it bleed

For if you don't you can bet you won't

Find yourself without a chaperone

And now skip your happy ass down the road

Before it gets transformed into a toad

Legends fables and fairytales are eating at your brain

Kings and Queens and wolverines are gaining their free reign

God and monsters and science fiction creatures claim your soul

As further down your poor mind slips into that deep dark hole.

It's not the end
