The Backyard Of My Life

Twelve Monkeys


There's a mix up at the magic show
Cinderellas tears turn to snow
When she sees the hidden hand
The mad hatters multi color band
Go marching up and down
To the twelve monkeys in car with a clown

Walking over the thin ice
Tip toe on the tight rope
Better roll both them dice
Wash your mouth out with soap

There's confusion at the carnival too
Dry those eyes Betty boo
Take of on a trampoline
Trick or treat fruit machine
my morning whisper roundabout
wigwam mystic shadow of doubt

Pounding on an old type writer
Ink blots smudge the page
Her heavy heart a little lighter
sincerely burning with rage

There's chaos at the gallery
A rose in jar for Valerie
Salamander smirk picture portrait
Venus de Milo's arms will surly have to wait
Mona Lisa's smile wonder where it went
Girl with a pearl earring clocks that are bent

The twelve monkeys and the tin man
Sleeping beauty dream away
Cross the desert in a van
fishwife for a day
