DISASTER ZONE

The waterbed was frozen
Our love was on the rocks
I turned on the electric blanket
And got quite a shock

Now my eyes are curly
And my hair is blue
Why don't you use me
Like you love to do

Too lazy to lift an eyelid
Or even answer the phone
The president just called
This place a disaster zone

Now my eyes are curly...

My good friend the dust ball
Put on his boogie shoes
My Velveeta Cheese
Is fuzzy with the blues

Now my eyes are curly...
My heart isn't hardened
Just a little petrified
Like an ancient sharks tooth
Darkened by a billion tides

Now my eyes are curly...

The sky was hailing taxis
My heart was hailing too
A shattered shark tooth
Bit more than it could chew

Now my eyes are curly...

I said "Don't slam the screen door"
But you had to plow on through
If you come back and walk out again
I'll open the door for you.
