Sorry About Arkansas Lyrics

to keep the rudder steady
to keep the ocean calm
forget that hot & heavy
keep it real lukewarm

you must prevent the eye from blinking
best to keep it shut
& to keep your hand from wandering
use it to cover that eye up

if it's dark as death in there try not to mind
consider yourself blessed you're only playing blind

to keep out creepy noises
in the middle of the night
eat a hundred sandwiches
in loud & crunchy bites

while your gut's digesting
while you chew
are a hundred little tiny teeth
having their way with you

and all you can do, all you do is watch & wait
don't suffer much more than a weak malaise

keep those critters happy
pretend that you don't see
hold your arm out make a fist
& just let them feed

& to keep out paranoia
at least a bottle or more
when they're gone stuff in your notes
& throw them overboard
