Jello Jello Jello Jello Jello Jello...

Ho ho ho I'm Jello Jack the jolly boneless boy.

I live inside a jar beside the rooster boy named Roy.

They pour me out upon a platform and the people stare

At eyeballs in a pool of flesh surrounded by some hair.

I wish I was a cowboy or maybe just a bird

Singing simple melodies that no one ever heard

Soaring with the winter winds and bringing in the spring

Sharing air with orioles and bumblebees that sting

And making babies proud of all the bugs that I would bring.

I'd sit up high above the ground and laugh as I looked down

at all the silly humans as they slowly trudged around.

But as I see the end of evening turn into the night

The bird inside my brain becomes a light that is too bright.

In his dreams at night he hears a white hot light

And he knows that God is singing in his dreams at night.

Hot heat smolders smoking embers

Vibrate deep, vibrate deep

Cause teeth clinch, cause vibrate deep

Inside the sucking sound of suction,

Suction, sucking sections of my soul,

Sucking sections of the only thoughts

My mind will salivate and drool

And press against itself and press

Against itself and feel the cursing

Flow of fever, driven, biting, grinding, clinging,

Ream the center of the Sun

With shafts of Solid Steel

Know that there is nothing like the feeling

Of those steel fingers up inside

Of something sticky, sweet and wet

Feel the lips of licking licky wet liquid;

feel the tongue that touches the tips of sharp pointed things.
