The Thousandth And Tenth Day[00:00:00]
Of The Human Totem Po - Captain Beefheart[00:00:01]
The thousandth and tenth day[00:00:31]
Of the human totem pole [00:00:33]
The morning was distemper grey [00:00:41]
Of the thousandth and tenth day[00:00:44]
Of the human totem pole [00:00:46]
The man at the bottom was smiling [00:00:49]
He had just finished his breakfast smiling [00:00:54]
It hadn't rained or manured[00:01:00]
For over two hours [00:01:02]
The man at the top was starving [00:01:04]
The pole was a horrible looking thing[00:01:07]
With all of those eyes and ears[00:01:10]
And waving hands for balance [00:01:13]
There was no way[00:01:16]
To get a copter in close[00:01:17]
So everybody was starving together [00:01:20]
The man at the top[00:01:22]
Had long ago given up[00:01:24]
But didn't have nerve enough[00:01:26]
To climb down [00:01:28]
At night the pole would talk to itself[00:01:30]
And the chatter wasn't too good [00:01:33]
Obviously the pole didn't like itself[00:01:37]
it wanted to walk [00:01:40]
It was the summer and it was hot[00:01:44]
And balance wouldn't permit skinning[00:01:47]
To undergarments [00:01:49]
It was an integrated pole [00:01:51]
It was taking on an reddish brown cast [00:01:53]
Exercise on the pole was isometric [00:01:57]
Kind of a flex and then balance[00:02:01]
Then the highest would roll together [00:02:04]
The ears wiggle hands balance [00:02:06]
There was a gurgling and googling heard[00:02:12]
A tenth of the way up the pole [00:02:15]
Approaching was a small child[00:02:18]
With Statue of Liberty doll[00:02:21]
