lyrics

Monday starts on Saturday
© 2019 R. Chris Dahlgren


A log hut stands on chicken legs by the old oak tree
Angry ghosts and vampires want to get closer to me
The same book’s always changing on the windowsill
Last titled when I read it ‘Creative Works of the Mentally Ill’
Monday starts on Saturday, all magicians know
Transformations bring with them more bureaucracy in tow


Vasily the cat knows stories, at least a thousand or two
But he always forgets them from beginning to halfway through
A pike I just saved told me that by her own command
She’d grant me any wish wanted at my most urgent demand
Monday starts on Saturday, tenured wizards work for free
A parrot moves from future to past- it’s the Photon we can’t see


I’m sorry Mr. Korneev my duties force me to
Kick your double off the divan to see if it’s really you
Playing so long with dead fish in living water, it does show
You’ve upped the current much too high, the facility will blow
Monday starts on Saturday and I’m feeling numb
We’ve only just met for hours here, our love is yet to come
