Kilowatt Hour

The smoke machine and the microphone descending The pissed MC and the ticket taker's grin Walk in like a half-breed superhero Painted, sweaty entourage of men Opera for the dim and hard of thinking Marti Gras meets the Charles Atlas plan Karoake conflict of Samsons Get out while they beat the concession man We are there now We are there now This is the bone-crushing fabled war it's the same as the night before A cheap parade gorilla men The five minute calculated tragedy begins New ones learn to appreciate the acting Old ones wish for the grand asylum times Me, I think it's nice work if you can get it Kaufman saw the whole thing as sublime We are there now We are there now This is the bone-crushing fabled war It's the same as the night before A cheap parade of gorilla men The five minute calculated tragedy It's a bone-crushing fabled war A held-breath, hand-held kilowatt hour This is a homoerotic dance Last rites for the Adonis, captain comic man
