the Kissing Cage

lyrics

I was the last to see him alive
My friends and I
Having fossil seasiures
Uninvolved in our respective driveways
Ran into a kissing cage
Behind candy store racks
Calling an ambulance too late
In black iron chicken wire
Loops of passion, everyone on the outside and
Everyone on this inside
Eager, frenzied willing
Pressing fevered mouths together against a chain link cage
Young men and women
Young women and women
Hot tight passionate confined
She told me she was his daughter
Neither of us was attracted to the cage
I ran a finger across her fat face

Went back to the kissing cage
Why do I always feel left out
I turned to see Paul Headwood
He moved to California
He's really a martian
Defeated I picked up a stick and squeezed his head with it
His head turns
To wood
I remember poking fun
Vanquished
