Dr. Strangely Strange - Dr. Dim And Dr. Strange Lyrics
A baker N. Ferrara thought he was composed of butter and durst not sit inThe sun or come near the fire for fear of being meltedHe was one of those who do talk with you and seem to be otherwise employedAnd to your thinking, very intent and busyStill that toy runs in their mind, that fear, that suspicion, that abuse,That jealousy, that agony, that vexation, that fiction, that pleasantWaking dreamCadman the MinotaurYou’d better lick your lipsThe films almost overThey’re only showing clipsThe prelate’s on the pig’s backAnd he’s running down the hillThe swans turned to sailing shipsThe honey’s on the window sillsProjectionist ZhivagoHe promptly blows his coolHe models up the spoolsThere’s a pike in every poolAnd that’s for gospelThis is what Dr. Dim has to say:Keep your eyes peeled, nerves steeled, well heeled in the field X 4Add age after ion and proverb after lifeSugar-daddy introduced the world and his wifeWhile revolutions rife in the graveyardsDr. Strange has this to say: (don’t you know?)Dry throat, hard stew, bitter pill as a ruleDry brains, hard mind, worse you couldn’t findX 2He’s a stoker on the mad march steamerShe’s a county chemist and an antique dealerDr. Strange has tried the astral tramSpeeds to cure the melancholic manWith a placebo from desperate DanAnd sounded vice to gentisate the feverHe cites a saline purgative for chronic paranoia…“Keep a cleaner nose than usualGet in touch with Martin’s lawyerThe cracks of proposal is thatNotice in the corner…”And this is how it reads folks:Keep your eyes peeled, nerves steeled, well heeled in the field X 4To be taken twice at nightThe emetic for the blightTo be taken night and dayOn an aluminum trayA pudding with a proof inside: the eatingAnd this is what Dr. Strange has to say (God bless him):Dry throat, hard stew, bitter pill as a ruleDry brains, hard mind, worse you couldn’t findX 2Oh strangest cure of allThe writing on the wallTo hear the prophets callFrom Eden to the fallThere’s nothing there at all, at all X 4
