Gunpowder Green

Too long on
the Oolong Tea Blues
The unattended
catrographer girl
was given free espresso
and a kitten and a smile
Set to loose,  upon the world,
but all I got was a foot
to the floor

The empty bowl is set
in the ever endless void
as you called me a paranoid
while madman Americans
sharpen their stones
in a desert land
of hot burning bones

(Chorus)
Enemies of the coffee state
you get no refills, no coffee, mate
Jasmine, mango, Peach
and Darjeeling, you give me gas
with yer gunpowder green

Hey you there, I not
so shallow man,
nor a wind made thing
easy blown away
Your line in the sand
can't salt the melting pot
since love is a verb
in the terror land

(Chorus)
Enemies of the coffee state
you get no refills, no coffee, mate
Jasmine, mango, Peach
and Darjeeling, you give me gas
with yer gunpowder green

(Bridge)
Save a bit of tobacco for me
save a bit, for that baby meat
give your complaints
to the NIMBY puleeeeeze
You gotta buy a drink
if you want to pray
at his seat
and his post-speech analysis
is poison to me

Reach for thy hand
of the mapmaker real boy
we've gone on too long
to do dump yer Oolong tea
dump it with Mel Gibson
in the Irish breakfast sea
save a bit of tobacco for me

(Chorus)
Enemies of the coffee state
you get no refills, no coffee, mate
Jasmine, mango, Peach
and Darjeeling, you give me gas
with yer gunpowder green
gunpowder green

Enemies of the coffee state
you get no refills, no free coffee, mate
Jasmine, mango, Peach
and Darjeeling, you give me gas
with yer gunpowder green
