Yeah, I once saw a guy juhhling chainsaws, He was on a cobblestone bridge Over an artificial lagoon at Disney World, And he was dressed like a court jester With pointy shoes and a silly hat with bells A crowd of tourists encircling him and clapping lustily And yeah, I eggshelled this grinning bloody image Where he misjudges a toss And in the rain of cheers and flash photography A chainsaw falls through his happy hat, slides right through him like he's a cartoon, Splitting him in half In a dam-bursting tide of blood and mechanical roar Like animation, Single tone blood slipping pooling among the cobblestones, Mingling like streams of rain And the chainsaws lying un-thought-of on the ground, Flopping like breathless fish in a roar of futility And the crowd gasps in drooling horror And slamms their fat flabby hands against their cheeks In perfect elastic choreography, I glance sidelong to see a fat woman With green painted face like a cartoon clown Agape in mock-horror Not allowing a single moment of terror entertainment To escape her underfed brain, She pushes forward with everyone else To get a better look at the tragic jester Still bleeding in monochrome So she could gasp even louder in unblinking voyeurism, Her crayon make-up cutting waxy rivers down her cheeks, It was a downright appalling scene, Blood speckled with the well-aimes tears of the choked And hysteria screaming small children Holding shaken parent hands Little overflowing eyes But the truly amazing thing was that Nobody left. But the vision only lasted for a second, And the crowd applauded enthusiastically As the jester graciously bowed.
