I am the freak lilac blooming from the pipe
I am rolling thunder to scare dogs beneath rugs
I am home for dinner, I am round from the beer
I am Solo and Doctor Jones in one room
I am the janitor of your senator’s closet
I am a waitress with pefect omelet lips
I am a conductor of a train who loves his voice in the static
I am lemon swimming in martini sips
When the time comes, I’ll tell you what I know, I’ll tell you all I know
I am Joe
They say that martinis are like womens’ breasts, three is too many but one is not enough
So true was the portait on the Fourth of July, watching the rockets as the water got rough
When the time comes, I’ll tell you what I know, I’ll tell you all I know
I am Joe
