Bouncing Very Well - Jerry Joseph

I’ve got a box full of pictures and trinkets

That start to make noise when I’m lying in bed

Overexposed to inanimate thinking

I’d like to think that it’s all in my head

In my head

I had a dream, you sat on the table

Questioning me while I’m tied to a chair

Sleep deprivation and sexual torture

It’s nice to know that Americans care

I am bouncing

I am bouncing very well

I know a buddha with rosary rings for a crown

He sits silently staring for most of the week

I need to tell him he’s got to quit coming around

I’m getting tired of waiting for prophets to speak

I’ve got a postcard of Spanish cathedrals

Dwarfed by a statue painted bright orange by Miró

Magazine covers proudly presenting

The Beatles in languages I’ll never know

I am bouncing

I am bouncing very well

I am bouncing higher and higher

Come take my hand, baby

We could get married

We could have babies and

Live in a shack by the sea

Fresh cut flowers and

Octopus cocktails

Just close your eyes

It’s easy to see

We are bouncing

We are bouncing very well

We are bouncing higher and higher
