DIG YOURSELF, LAZARUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dig yourself, LAZARUS!!!!!!!! (dig yourself back in that hole) Larry made his nest up in the autumn branches built from nothing but high hopes & thin air he collected up some BABY-BLASTED mothers they took their chances & for a while lived quite happily up there he came from NEW YORK CITY, but he couldn’t take the pace (thought it was like DOGGY-DOG-WORLD) then he went to SAN FRANCISCO (spent a year in outer space) w/ a sweet little san franciscan girl I can hear my mother wailing & a whole lot of scraping of chairs!!!!!!!! I don’t know what it is but there is definitely something going on upstairs dig yourself, LAZARUS!!!!!! DIG YOURSELF, LAZARUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dig yourself, LAZARUS!!!!!!!! (dig yourself back in that hole) I!!!! WANT!!!!! Y/!!!!!!!! TO!!!!!!!! DIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah, NEW YORK CITY, he had to get out of there & san francisco, well, I don’t know & then to LA, where he spent about a day he thought even the pale sky-stars were smart enough to keep well away from LA!!!!!! meanwhile Larry made up names for the ladies, like MISS BOO!!!! & MISS QUICK!!!!!!! he stockpiled weapons & took pot shots at the air he feasted on their lovely bodies like a lunatic wrapped himself up in their soft yellow hair I can hear chants & incantations & some guy is mentioning me in his prayers!!!!!
