Thirty years ago today
On Wednesday evening Mike Copping came to Fat Albert’s. My band Christian and the Lions, consisting of myself, Tom Smarda, Steve Lowe, Mike Martin and Arjan performed “Instructions for Electroshock Therapy” and “Recurring Vision of a Myopic Third Eye” to an almost empty room.
Recurring Vision of a Myopic Third Eye
Intravenous McDonalds
the restaurant of the future
and the fastest food of all
Into the blender go the roaches and rats
and the world is now a very clean ball
Suicide Seven-eleven
a delicious hemlock Slurpie
Free fill-up with cremation
A drive-through death for the sick or depressed
Its now a less neurotic nation
Radio Shack for amnesiacs
sweet memories made to order
Cheap generic identities
Some microchips go in the headcheese dip
and now look ma no penitentiaries
MTV please empty me
see me be in a 3D-O
Virtual banality
High-tech sex let me beam you a cheque
so I can dance on hold to your melody
dance on hold to your malady
