oslo andy
living in the wall
of the catacomb
readin’ ‘n a’prayin’
why why why he cries
this god is a mystery
he makes me, then he
makes me think, then he
makes me think he’s not
real
what am i to think?
oslo andy shivers against
the ancient bricks
oh man i shoulda stayed home
and ordered a pizza
never shoulda answered that
phone
never shoulda asked myself
what the hell i’m doing here
he says: i’m a goner if’n he
don’t send me no sign soon
and right at there very moment
a flyer came floating down the dark
wet hall and landed right on oslo
andy’s lap
it said: TONIGHT ONLY
REUNION CONCERT
OSLO AMPITHEATER
COME SEE GOD’S TEETH
and oslo andy got mad
that’s me, he said, what
they doing with my music?
and he showed up and they was
waiting for him and he
got up and sang
and felt pretty good
until he got hit by the
flying brick
what is it with bricks
he thought
on the way to the clinic
old bricks new bricks
i’m going home to the
wife and kids and build
me a brick wall in the backyard
and oslo andy got on a plane home
but it sucked up a brick in the engine
and the only survivor, oslo andy,
ended up on an island all alone
thinking and hopin’ ’til
one day a flyer came floatin’ down
it said:
TONIGHT ONLY
REUNION CONCERT
OTHER SIDE OF THE BEACH
COME SEE GOD’S TEETH
