Fulcrum And LeverI heard a bone snapWhen I was only 'bout 9 The laws of gravitation Were in advance a while(??) But not long before they taught me a lesson In tough skin jeans like a Japanese Hessian I was 70 pounds Learning to fly I knew I couldn't do if I didn't try We called it 'the field' Where we used to hang out A field of alfalfa in the back of a house With a slice of an old oak tree And a 12 foot plank Put the board on top We got a flying machine! Oh my god! We can teeter on this! Or make a lever that can shoot me Into orbit and space! I've seen the circus I know how they do it With bent knees You got to jump Like you would from a trampoline Strange Phenomenon Strange Phenomenon We got up a ladder And the heaviest kid (5) He would climb up top (4) And count down like a (3)rocket ship To (2) fly me up He'd get to (1) T-minus zero (0)Before he jumped And I was shot high in a vertical catapult Straight up and down I remember the view From over top of the house Gravity seems weak Until you look down I got in position I hadn't echoed the form (???) If the judges were present They'd be holding up score cards Of 9's and 10's I must've loosed a couple points For the landing I did I heard a loud snap But it didn't hurt I looked the neighborhood It looked like earth But everybody's acting weird Are they on meds? Eating peanut butter sandwich In a hospital bed I started noticing Strange Phenomenon (I started noticing) Strange Phenomenon Is this planet the same one that I've been on Everybody's bizzare and irrational Even nurses on the quiet(?) seem a bit off Strange Phenomenon Everybody's deranged and I wonder what Happened the day that I fell from the sky If nobody changed then it must've been mine |
