The Garden of Earthly Delights:
Poisonous gardens, lethal and sweet ,
Venomous blossoms
Choleric fruit, deadly to eat.

Violet nightshades, innocent bloom,
Omnivorous orchids,
Cautiously wait, hungrily loom.
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

Petrified willows, twisted and brown
Carrion swallows,
Wait in the wet darkening ground.

Withering shadows, quietly grow,
Potently breeding
Into a spectacular glow
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

Lemonous petals, dissident play,
Tasting of ergot
Dancing by night, dying by day.

Blackening mushrooms drink in the rain,
Sinister nightblooms
Wilt with the dawn's welcoming pain.
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

Ooooo hoooo ooooo!
lord have mercy,
I had 3 dounts and 2 cups of coffee,
but that didn't stop my appetite.
I had already eaten a box of cookies late last night,
I had 10 pancakes , plenty of syrup and butter and two slices of ham,
3 eggs, home fries, 4 biscuits all smothered in jam,
2 glasses of milk and a cheese cake.

I thought I didn't want anymore,
but I just had about 12 of those mints in the bowl by the door.

That is why, that is why, you're overweight....

'I love the dead, before they're cold,
Their blueing flesh for me to hold.
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave,
I have other uses for you darling...
ALICE COOPER circa 1973
