He Never Knew The Benefits Of Caffeine

I keep my police scanner on all night to keep abreast of the neighborhood's bad intentions
A rainbow of radio waves lights up the monitor
The thumping of a heartbeat echoes in the hallway
Fascination sets in, transmitted by ham radio
I'm fumbling with the dosage, I'm fumbling with scenarios
Late night talk radio keeps me well informed
My overnight supervisor left me forewarned
Now I'm older and wiser, I've got brand new incisors
I think I've got a new focus a magic wand "hocus pocus" the paperback

And I was shocked to know, I'm not the only one who knew the strange deals that were done
And I was shocked to know, I'm not the only one who knows we're headed for the sun

You see, I'm an actor, on the stage I'm crying, laughing, coughing
I don't get good roles all that often, like Nosferatu sans the coffin
I'm like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, did you see me?
I was an extra on the nine o'clock news footage of a protest at City Hall
Sometimes I hear them talk of an all-inclusive theory that explains JFK
And how it relates to nearly everything unexplained
The beast of revelations, Stonehenge and the sphinx, the society of freemasons

And I was shocked to know, I'm not the only one who knew the strange deals that were done
And I was shocked to know, I'm not the only one who knows we're headed for the sun

As they wheel away the bodies and the handcuffs are slapped on
They explain the difference between neglect and assault
I remembered art bell and all of those conspiracies
I forgot to change the bedpans but I remembered that we were all doomed
