The Epidemiologist

(альбом: The Fantasy Life Of Poetry & Crime - 2022)

The best laid plans can oft go to fockery
Run down B&Bs can turn to luxury
A wish that is wasted still can be granted
Hope that is doped still can be planted

I search and I search
I lurch headlong into atrocities
With an exponential known only to epidemiologists

Little pink Kenzo's, little blue benzos
Hip hop, bebop, old blues and punk rocker
Heads that are shrunken still can be clever
Ships that are sunken still can hold treasure

I search and search
I lurch headlong into atrocities
With a velocity known only to very few astronauts

Few are, few are
Very few astronauts
Few are, few are

I search and I search
I lurch, I lurch headlong into such atrocities
With an exponential known only to epidemiology

Dashiell Hammett, Émile Ajar
Peter Lorre and Humphrey Bogart
Jean Seberg, Daniel Darc
Panic in the Streets and Panic in Needle Park

Oh yes, I search and I search
And I lurch, I lurch headlong into atrocity
With an exponential known only to very few epa

Epa, epa, epa
Epidemiologists
Epa, epa, epa, epa, epa
Epidemiologists
Epa, epa, epa
