'Round the bend / Torpedo

Just another day in Tricksville

pick out a pair of pants
eat up a bowl of oatmeal
small bites - leave nothing to chance
umbrella in your knapsack
though cloudless skies extend
reach for the doorknob clueless
of what's comin' 'round the bend

oh it's comin' 'round the bend my friend
what's comin' 'round the bend
few see it in the distance
most fail to comprehend
oh prophets & kings they'll tell you
how things must start before they end
but they'll never ever warn you
of what's comin' 'round the bend

It's made of horns & feathers
it speaks in tongues of code
it's the polar end of standard
a spork in the homeward road
when lunch is a tuna sandwich

eight times out of ten

that doesn't mean you're safe of

what's comin' 'round the bend

oh it's comin' 'round the bend my friend
what's comin' 'round the bend
few see it in the distance
most fail to comprehend
oh prophets & kings they'll tell you
how things must start before they end
but they'll never ever warn you
of what's comin' 'round the bend

I'm not saying there's no value
in crossin' t's & dottin' i's
it keeps quarters in your pocket
it's vasoline on your thighs
but Tuesdays lead to Wednesdays

those weeks & months they tend to blend

so take heed when turning corners

cuz it's comin' 'round the bend

oh it's comin' 'round the bend my friend
what's comin' 'round the bend
few see it in the distance
most fail to comprehend
oh prophets & kings they'll tell you
how things must start before they end
but they'll never ever warn you
of what's comin' 'round the bend

what's comin' 'round the bend
what's comin' 'round the bend my friend
what's comin' 'round the bend
what's comin'
'round
the bend
