Baby Rhino's Eye

(album: Box Office Bomb - 1987)

I saw her face on Channel Two
Between The Taming Of The Shrew
Never noticed what I knew
There was nothing I could do I guess
I had a dream about a child
Raised by owls in the wild
Never laughed never smiled
There was nothing I could do I guess

Words came wrapped in cellophane
Like lollipops you left in the rain
No good except for insects
No yen except for good sex

Operator information calling overseas
Tell me that it's only fiction
Make me happy please
I don't belong
I thought you promised that it wouldn't be long

Heard her voice sing a song
Hey isn't that my favorite song
Never got to say so long
There was nothing I could do I guess

I think there must be some mistake
She must be at her house by the lake
She always loved to go there
She's got a dog with no hair

How's about another cupcake
How's about a pie
How's about a chocolate covered
Baby rhino's eye
I don't belong
I thought you promised that it wouldn't be long
Isn't this a funny story
Isn't it a gas
Isn't it like Moses making snakes out of a staff
I don't belong
I thought you promised that it wouldn't be long
How's about that Johnny Carson
Isn't he a scream
Did you ever have a lady analyze your dreams
Operator information
Tell me it's a gag
Tell me that it's only fiction written for some rag
How's about another cupcake
How's about a pie
How's about a chocolate covered
Baby rhino's eye
I don't belong
I thought you promised that it wouldn't be long
