Strange Times Boogie

Glorious influencers talk
And they keep walking talking
All day long
Filling empty rooms
With red balloons
Voices echo, words repeat
Parrots in a twisted
Sing-a-long
Covering the smell of dead racoons

The beautiful rich have come to town
Buying the doctors and claiming
All the schools
Kissing cheeks and swapping
Diamond rings
They come for revenge and they won't back down
Don't mind a bit about a little blood in their
Swimming pools
And give a nod to Jimmy
In the wings

Strange times

Bee was the biggest buzz in town
Everybody cheered as
She went by
They said she was their queen
Their latest flame
But when she slipped and hit the ground
Her girlfriends froze in fear
And let her die
Her mother said she had herself
To blame

Strange times

They're growing the bushes
They're locking the doors
They're paying the wolf to shepherd
The shivering sheep
Making sure nobody
Could get in
And as the bells ring for the poor
The Jesus Christ is being put to sleep
Crosses smashed and thrown
Into the bin

We're doing the Strange Times Boogie
Hallelujah Pa-Pa

The beautiful boys are building a cage
Chaining the pets and pups
Of their desire
Snorting ever line of
Fuzzy dreams
They're brushing their teeth, shining their shoes
Smiling and singing along
In the parrot choir
They know that all that matters is
How it seems

The riders of dusk arrive in the morning
Flashing with new suits
In the camera light
Promising
OUR TIME HAS COME
AT LAST
And under the cloudy sky
The beggars are shot in the head
Not even out of sight
And Jimmy buttons the jacket
Of the blast

Good times

Strange times
