Today's Verse: 4 October 2009

Thank you mister ray
And thank you johnny
You made my day
You made it funny
Hell

Amen sister ray
In darkness kneeling
Say billy gray
Say that you're feeling
Well

After the transformation
And the fall from grace
After the criminalization
Of the human race

I know my future
Will not be blank
Though I may be crazy
Mad as a crank
You can wager on that
Take it to the bank
Cause I left the boat
Before it sank
And I spilled the drink
That Socrates drank
And I made my friends
Before they stank
I'm shouting hosannas
And offering thanks
To comfort myself
My future's not blank

Bless you uncle dick
And bless you peter
We had our kicks
Passed out in the theatre
Aisles

Adieu darling jim
Vaya con dios
Outlook is grim
Forecast more of those
Smiles

After the revelation
Transcendant sublime
Comes sweet inspiration
Generous and kind

And I know my future
Will not be blank
Though I think I'm crazy
Mad as a crank
You can wager on that
Take it to the bank
Cause I left the boat
Before it sank
And I spilled the drink
That Socrates drank
And I made my friends
Before they stank
I'm singing hallelujah
And offering thanks
To comfort myself
My future's not blank

Peter/theater = excellent

Sister Ray/Billy Gray = everything you need to know about the winter of 1978
