Meanwhile, Rick James...
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Disempowered
The scattering flock
Dances in a fever
At the Castle Rock
Dust devils cypress
Ripening fruit
Ascending quick
Into the author's bathroom
Fon, Jo and Tootsie
Are out on a wire
Mans tooth junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile Rick James
Takes her new
And there's nothing
I can do
Meanwhile Rick James
Takes her new
And there's nothing
I can do
And there's nothing
I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
Uninvited
We'll stay if we want
Searching through
Your closets
For your grandfather's gun
We were swimming
Your kidney
Kidney shaped pool
Scratching at the bottom
For another clue, yeah
Fon, Jo and Tootsie
Are out on a wire
Mans tooth junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile Rick James
Takes her new
And there's nothing
I can do
Meanwhile Rick James
Takes her new
And there's nothing
I can do
And there's nothing
I can say to you
And there's nothing
I can do
And there's nothing
I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
