The way I see it, Barry, this should be a very dynamite show
A bit of nostalgia for the old folks
I'm advocating dark clothes
If I'm not alone, how long have I been asleep?
As long as I have
Did you ever live in a drum?
No
Well, then you aren't me
I only dreamt I lived in a drum, ever since it got dark
Dreaming is hard
Yeah, but with nothing over your head?
No, just light over my head and underneath too
I don't think I could take it without anything over my head
Mm-mm, I don't think I either
Well, why don't you go out and see what's out there?
Well, I don't know if that's what's out there
Well, that's a thought
If you've looked- Yes, but still you can say darker and darker
Mm-hmm
I don't know what the outside of this thing looks like at all
I do
It's dark and murky
How do you get your, your water so dark?
'Cause I'm paranoid
I'm very paranoid
And the water in my washing machine turns dark out of sympathy
Out of sympathy?
Yes
Um, where can I get that?
At your local drug store
How much?
It's from Kansas
Bought out 90 oval with three Strongberg 97s
Almost Chinese, huh?
...
The bread because I was making, uh, 2.71 an hour
I keep switching girls all the time because if I'm able to find a girl
With really a groovy car that I can build up, man, I'll go steady
With her for a while until I build
Up her car and blow out the engine
I worked in a cheesy newspaper company
For a while, but that was terrible
I wasn't making enough money to build anything
L.A.
And then I worked in a printing company and a couple gas stations
Oh, at the gas station where I was working, my brother had
Just gotten married and, uh, he'd bought a new car and his
Wife was having a kid and all this miserable stuff, and he
Needed a job so I gave him a job at the gas station of
Which I was fired because, you know, he was gonna work there
And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing
It and changing tires and everything all the time
And so then he got fired because he was goofing off
Man, and he just kept taking parts and working
On his car day and night until he lost that job
And I went to work at another gas station
He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that
And then I went to work in an aircraft
Company and, uh, I was building these planes
I worked on the XB-70
I was the last welder on there
I built...
It was pretty good bread because I was making, uh, 2.71 an
Hour and making a hundred and a quarter a week and, uh...
Yeah, it was good enough money to be working
On, so I got an Oldsmobile, a Groovy Olds
But I was going with this chick at the time, and by the time I
Got the Olds running decently, she went out and, again, tore
Up the engine and the trans and, you know, her and her girlfriends
Would get in there and booze it up and tear up the seats
Just rip the seats completely out
So, uh, I went and I got a '56 Olds, which was this one chick's that
I was going with, and, uh, we used to drive that all over the place
And finally, she got rid of that
And, uh, I got another pickup
All right
I don't know if I can go through this again
A bit of nostalgia for the old folks
