Mike Doughty - Vegetable

I was alone skipping along
Killing the song making it long gone
I was alone breaking it off
Making it soft trudging the road home

Sear it like a vegetable
Scarf it like a vegetable
Nosh it like a vegetable

Dip it like a vegetable
Fry it like a vegetable
Boil it like a vegetable

I was a chump making the jump
Chilling the bump driving the speedboat
I was a chump swallow a lump
Kid I smote picking an eighth note

Steam it like a vegetable
Green like a vegetable
Braise it like a vegetable

Cook it like a vegetable
Bake it like a vegetable
Burn like a vegetable

Out of the black, skipping the track
Taking it back, I make a bid for the middle
Rough wrought like a cosmonaut
I got shunned for the refund

You're restless in your best dress
I'm depressed at your sweet address
Live in the machinery salt sea of the hex you be
Hell-bound, surround the compound

Make the words swell in a villanelle
Ah, well, you got the dweller, dispeller
Tremble when you disassemble
Scrawl a rough map on the foolscap
Mr. Weinstein, drinking the strychnine
That's why I compel you to swim the wishing well

Dirty like a vegetable
Make it like a vegetable
Fix it like a vegetable
