Stand up and sing-sing!

Stand Up

Heartland hinterland faeryland brotherland
Wonderland Alice in, in Berlin, heroin
Origin heretic addict or contradict
Lunatic moonatic rhetoric
Homesick or heartsick

Wallow in swallow reject or collect
Or inject or infect one magpie and
Shoofly don’t bother me
Just leave me alone.

Space and iconoclast, dream we drink dew of sun
Potion emotion the animal wild to run
Whippoorwill mystical Rosalie evermore
Rosalie come to me, Rosalie on the floor
Sing-Sing
Sing-Sing for everything
Stand up and Sing-Sing
Sing-Sing for everything….Everything!

Oh honey, miss you when you’re gone.

Orbital aerial legend or pretend
You can leave, or believe in the
Looking glass Alice through
Sky blue forever true
Catch a wing Lulu is fracturing
Breakin’ up, breakin’ up

But you know you can stand up and
Sing-Sing
Sing-Sing for everything
Stand up and Sing-Sing
Sing-Sing for everything….Everything!

And when it’s all over, all said and done
Then there’s the coming down again….
