Ticketman

Hot carriage too loud
Can’t hear the music on my Walkperson
It’s a Ticketman
Give me the restroom
Show me the restroom
- there must be a restroom
Understated movements
Don’t look at me
Don’t size me up
- there’s someone with a notebook
Do you think she likes Beefheart?
Do you think she likes Zappa?
Or Britney’s shears?
A man who looks like a young John Gielgud
Sitting up straight with too many clothes
It’s a Ticketman
Wants your ticket - wake up
and smell the sweat
and the odour rose
No threat of rain today
on’t look at me
Don’t size me up
- I need a holiday
In the lap of the Gods
or my favourite Muse
Give me the station
Show me the station
or I’ll have to kill you all
