Mona was spectacularly metaphorical Ready to pop like a champagne cork Said Austin,Texas was the new California Said California is the old New York TV Ron with his pocket fisherman Goes head to head with Late Nite Dave Hucksters and the gospel of the essence of orange Cook a baked potato faster than a microwave I got two bucks for Duane - two for Willie If they would just stop ringin' my bell Can't tell the rock star from the preacher Door to door with nothin' to sell Meanwhile... Mona, she's waiting For that next great rainbow TV Ron's in the kitchen with Dinah And his Bo Diddley Tremolo You see it all shakes just right in triplets Dinah's always got the perfect alibi Just the maid in the kitchen in apron and high heels Singin' bye bye Sweetie Pie And it's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line Bye bye bye Sweetie Pie Just take the 4:19 out of New Orleans Don't look back and you'll do fine Just like Jesus, Mona spoke in parables Verily I say unto thee It's easier to get the camel through the eye of the needle Than for you to get to me And I say yeah... That's a pretty loose translation Seems it happens all the time It's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line Daddy says Mona is crazy Mona's mama might be crazy too Saw it clear in some old cold coffee grounds Got no reason to doubt it's true Mona rode the Red Bull 9 to 5 Took her gun calmly in her hand Shot a hole through the heart of the very best part Found a loophole in The Master Plan She said smokin' is for relaxation She said drinkin' is for the pain She said TV Ron is for pocket fishing Pictures for the rain And it's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line Bye bye bye Sweetie Pie Take the 4:19 out of New Orleans Don't look back and you'll do fine When she was younger, Mona left all her earthly possessions Hit the highway to pass the test Spent a week with the Benedict Brothers Doin’the Tahlequah Hitchhike Spiritual Quest And who's this waiting in the wings In a chandelier themed disguise? Why, it's TV Ron - the pocket fisherman Studying every nervous twitch in Mona's eyes I can hear God a calling Through this fog of worldly haze Try to face this fear of falling Lost in a twisted maze And still I pray God will catch me As I tumble into the dark and the deep If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to keep How long before the Brookside robbery Makes it to the Channel Six News? Black and white surveillance camera movie Looks like Mona's got the Brookside Blues And it's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line Bye bye bye Sweetie Pie Take the 4:19 out of New Orleans Don't look back and you'll do fine When reality falls short of visions When the light of day falls short of dreams Maybe we'll all be found wanting With our favorite little half-baked schemes Maybe if you pray it loud enough Maybe you won't be afraid of the dark But the closer you get to the finish line The greater chance of missing the mark Now if you chase after every rainbow Make a wish on every star You just might end up counting used rosary beads... For late night tips at the local bar Osama's dead - bullet in the head Cowboy style - right between the eyes Suicide bombers still dream of paradisiacal virgins And the death toll is expected to rise But I got new strings on my paisley Telecaster I got my custom Bo Diddley tremolo Mona's dancin' - that's all I ever asked for Whoa Baby... Baby we gotta go! And it's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line And it's bye bye bye Sweetie Pie Take the 4:19 out of New Orleans Don't look back and you'll do fine Don't look back and you'll do fine Don't look back and you'll do fine I knew a guy who felt so much in the dark He signed his name with a question mark Bought a secondhand rosary from a used up secondhand nun I saw him at the Queen of Hearts when he first came in Dazed and confused as to where to begin Asked the hostess if she'd ever twisted fate's tattooed arm just for fun Justin and Jack seemed pumped up and hell-bent On being the night's only entertainment But when the crowd thinned out, Mr. Question Mark asked to do his thing He said, "This is the way it is - And this is the way it goes..." Pulled the old rosary from his pocket and wiped his nose Counted the beads backwards and prayed for an early spring Now if you chase after every rainbow Make a wish on every star You just might end up counting used rosary beads... For late night tips at the local bar Meanwhile... Mona, she's waiting For that next great rainbow TV Ron's in the kitchen with Dinah And his Bo Diddley Tremolo And it's bye bye Sweetie Pie Better move it on down the line Bye bye bye Sweetie Pie Just take the 4:19 out of New Orleans Don't look back and you'll do fine Don't look back and you'll do fine Don't look back and you'll do fine Don't look back and you'll do fine
