Chocolate curds inside your care
Draw the curtains, I don't care.
Chocolate curtains, I don't care.
Draw the curtains, I don't care.
Cows drinking kerosene
Kid can't pee at seventeen.

Kid can't read at seventeen.
Cows giving kerosene
She can't be seventeen.
Cows giving kerosene

I must be getting angry
Cops are running late
Look outside the morning sky
It looks so foamy
It must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by numbers morning sky
Looks so phony
I see you've got your fist out.
I see you've got your list out.
It must be getting early
Cops are running late.
It must be getting early
Clocks are running late.
Pink light of the morning sky
Looks so phoney.
Paint-by-number morning sky
Looks so phoney.
The Ables and the Bakers and the seas
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
It was actually old U.S. military code.
The angels and the fakers and disease
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The eagles and the beggars and the seas
or
The Ablers and the beggars and the thieves
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The eagles and the beggars and the seas
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's.

The words he knows are all obscene, but it's ok
Another record's in her ears.
I know the rent is in arrears.
It’s your right
It’s alright
The pigment of the morning sky looks so phony
The paint-by-number morning sky looks so phony
