Not In Kansas

I am not in Kansas
 I can't slow down and I can't stand it
 Broadcast News into Hallelujah
 Hanne Darboven had a great idea
 Make a list, write it down
 Shave your head, draw a crown
 Move back home with mom and dad
 The pool is drained and they're not there
 My bedroom is a stranger's gun room
 Ohio's in a downward spiral
 I can't go back there anymore
 Since alt-right opium went viral
 I am not in Kansas
 Where I am, I don't know where
 Take me for a walk and blame this on the water
 Dripping off the spear
 You even get to wear a dress
 And feed his flesh to wayward daughters
 Everyone is so impressed
 Teachers, neighbors, and mothers, fathers
 First Testament was really great
 The sequel was incredible
 Like the Godfathers or the first two Strokes
 Every document's indelible
 Infidels and Heartbreak Beats
 Smidges of bad ecstasy
 I must have left it in my pocket
 With my Christianity in my rocket
 I'm binging hard on Annette Bening
 I'm listening to R.E.M. again
 Begin The Begin, over and over
 Begin The Begin, over and over
 I am not in Kansas
 Where I am, I don't know where
 Take me for a walk and blame this on the water
 Dripping off the spear
 If the sadness of life makes you tired
 And the failures of man make you sigh
 You can look to the time soon arriving
 When this noble experiment
 Winds down and calls it a day
 My shadow's getting shorter
 I'm a child at the border
 Oh Godmother, you can't ignore us
 There isn't anybody else left to love us
 I wanted you when I was a child
 I raked the leaves and I started fires
 Now I'm reading whatever you give me
 It's half your fault, so half forgive me
 I'm way behind in reflex math
 Biphasic sleepless emotional crashes
 Two days into one, shove 'em together
 I always wake up way before the weather
 My mother needs an army
 But I'm leaving home and I'm scared that I won't
 Have the balls to punch a Nazi
 Father, what is wrong with me?
 I am not in Kansas
 Where I am, I don't know where
 Take me for a walk and blame this on the water
 Dripping off the spear
 Oil droppers, rubber gloves
 I raked the leaves, I lit 'em up
 I read whatever it is you give me
 It's half your fault so half forgive me
 At the real Neil Armstrong taught me
 To play cutthroat at my Aunt Angela's house
 While my real dad's skate got caught in the ice
 And he drove us home with a spiral fracture
 It was then I was enlightened
 Roberta Flack the whole way home
 I was entirely unfrightened
 Dozing off and eternally un-alone
 The flowers cover over everything
 They cover over everything
 The flowers cover over everything
 I am not in Kansas
 Where I am, I don't know where
 Take me for a walk and blame this on the water
 Dripping off the spear
 Time has come now to stop being human
 Time to find a new creature to be
 Be a fish or a weed or a sparrow
 For the Earth has grown tired and all of your time has expired
 All the gardens are sprouting with flowers
 All the treetops are bursting with birds
 And the people all know that it's over
 They lay down their ears and they hang up their tiresome words
