Madame Blavatsky

Johnny Socko


Smiling upwards with my feet planted 
Feeling nice, Just a little slanted 
I would show you the respect that's due 
If I could just get my hands on you 
But the world's off kilter, So I dance like it 
Stumbling through its dull points and flashes 
Yen is mine and I think I can make it 
But you can't save me from someone else
just to take me out yourself 

Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side 
Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side 

She said "You no longer make me feel" 
So I flayed myself and she felt real bad 
Said she felt herself somedays 
In so many words with nothing to say
I'd be better off dead she said "If the shoe fits... 
And if it dosen't we'll find a way 
You'd be suprised how it goes down so easy 
Think of all fringe benefits, Think of all the money you'll save"

Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side 
Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side 

Into sensitivity and other rackets
We're offering good advice, and you'd better take it 
Around here we take boredom in bouts
And there are plenty of ways to put your lights out
Better off dead-- it could be so nice 
But we've never made this leap before
We'd be a little less slanted, a liitle less picturesque, 
A little less involved with any luck 
Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side 
Hey Madame Blavatsky 
Maybe you could see another side
