constituents

it's been so long since you've crossed my mind

i find ways to pass the time

chasing monkeys through the rings of hell

suits me exceptionally well

and all my constituents agree

i've been changed like a pebble in the sea

by the politics of time

but riddle me this: what happiness is mine?

that old comedian we lived above

asked me to send his love

he's chasing andy warhols brillo box

down 5th avenue in his socks

and all my constituents agree

he's been framed like the kid from rosko gee

by the politics of war

but riddle me this: what happiness is yours?

i hope this letter finds you safe and well

like an oyster in it's shell

i will see you when i take my rest

on the lunatic express

and all my constituents agree

we're as lost as a letter in the sea

in this universe of bars

but riddle me this: what happiness is ours?
