“

And it feels just like falling into quicksand
And it feels just like fading into gray
And it feels just like melting into water
You rise out of yourself and float away

Alfred has a shiny car

And he likes to drive on the avenue

Alfred drives a motorcar

And the boulevard is a pleasant view

I’ll put it in the driveway

I’ll take it to the airport

I’ll pull it in the carport

I’ll put it in my pocket

Alfred has a shiny car

And he drives it out on the motorway

Alfred drives a motorcar

And it’s obvious this is heaven’s way

I’ll form a new religion

I’ll feed it to the pigeons

I’ll take it going shopping

I’ll put it in the carport

Alfred has a shiny car

And he drives it out on the avenue

Say, Alfred lives with Mary Jane

In a tiny cottage with an ocean view

I’ll do the job of mystics

I’ll study ‘pataphysics

I’ll take up elocution

I’ll find my own solutions

God is infinitely small

I am infinitely tall

I bought a new revolver

I keep it at my bedside
