Dislocation

I was an alien in utero

Somehow missed New Mexico

Fell to Earth in Baltimore

I know

Now there are layer cakes in empty rooms

Birthday cards and red balloons

And me

I know I know

I know I know

I invited Johnny Legs and Jackie O

Empty parties filled with people I don't know

I am written in the radio

I dream on my TV

Dislocation Dislocation

I am fading out in stereo

I don’t remember me

Dislocation Dislocation

Telling lies and taking shots

Getting laid in parking lots

Getting high and getting caught

I know

All my broken paper planes

Parachutes and windowpanes

I’m a shooting star gone Novocain

I know

So I write to all the girlie magazines

Splash my passion on the pages in-between

I am written in the radio

I dream on my TV

Dislocation Dislocation

I am fading out in stereo

I don’t remember me

Dislocation Dislocation

Rising from the afterglow

A dodo bird with polio

And me

I know I know I know I know

I’m playing with a rock’n’roll band on the subway

It keeps me far away from the gamma rays

We live between the BOOM BOOM CRASH

And the fadeaway

I know

Wake up the congregation!

We will see the light tonight!

The spark! The flash!

The bang! The bite!

I know I know

I know I know

I know

I am written in the radio

I dream on my TV

Dislocation Dislocation

I could fade away in stereo

You won’t remember me

Dislocation Dislocation

If they drop the bomb on London

Swallow LA with the sea

Dislocation Dislocation

Say a prayer for Oklahoma

Say another one for me

Dislocation Dislocation
