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
