This song is just a product of my imagination,<\/span><\/strong>
\nOnly someone just like me could ever dream me up.<\/span><\/strong>
\nI\u2019m 14 karat cuckoo, living color animation,<\/span><\/strong>
\nA cross between a silver chalice and a Dixie cup.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wherever you are, Mr Serling, I believe that I’m the Sterling,<\/span><\/strong>
\nExample of that \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d you used to rave about.<\/span><\/strong>
\nI’ve been pickin\u2019 and a-grinnin\u2019 30 days without a day off.<\/span><\/strong>
\nI’ve given and forgiven till I’m afraid I’m plum give out.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m getting weirder by the minute,\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/span>From the things I ain’t been smoking,<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd reality is blowing me away.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve been searching for Me everywhere from Vegas to Hoboken,<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nSo if you see me, kindly tell me I want that-a way.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nYou see, all my bread ain’t hardly done,<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 And if it were I’d still be one,<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nBrick short of the number it takes to make up a load.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nMy Hair just Died of jet lag and I’m zipped inside my hanging bag,<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nSo check this bag to Nashville, Porter. Lord, I love the road!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I got Ptomain in a tavern down in Tucumcari, Tuesday,<\/span><\/strong>
\nAnd Wednesday I got welded to a socket on the wall,<\/span><\/strong>
\nPluggin\u2019 in my amplifier. The whole damn thing caught on fire!<\/span><\/strong>
\nLiving better electrically ain’t where it’s at after all.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
