Safe As Milk Lyrics - Safe As Milk - Captain Beefheart

Well, my cigarette died when I washed my face 

Dropped some drops in an ashtray; hit a wrong place 

Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning lines 

It's a safe as milk; it's a safe as milk 

I never heard it put quite that way 

The shape I'm in is a gone away 

They called a day; they called a day 

Yesterday's paper headlines approach rain gutter, teasing rusty cat, sneezing 

Soppin' wet hammer dusty and wheezing 

Lusty alley, whining trashcan blues 

Children running after rainbows, stocking poor 

Gracious ladies' nylon, hanging on to line 

Jumping onto leg, looking mighty fine 

Sorrows, lollipop lands, stick-broken on a dark carnival ground 

Pop-up toaster, cracklin' aluminium, rhythm and sound 

Ev'ry day pencil, lazy and sharp 

The icebox inside, looking like a harp 

Electric bulb been out for years; Freezer fumes feed the gas tears 

Cheese in the corner with a mile-long beard 

Beggin' blue bread dog-eared 

Beggin' blue bread dog-eared 

I may be hungry, but I sure ain't weird
