The Racket

There’s a lady in my belly
With a thousand arms
She don’t sign no contract
To do no harm

I run and I run to lose her
But lady will not budge
Until I wake up once and for all
And she is my one true love
Means: She’s gonna get me in the end.

Asleep on a lake
I can’t fall awake
I run to my head
And sweet dreams of crystals
That never bend or break
But a human heart
Is too warm for crystals to form.


Joyous racket she’s making
Inside my gut.
I’ve slept through
Her clatterstomping efforts to wake me up.
I punch and I punch my belly
But lady will not budge
Until I wake up once and for all
And she is my one true love
