Ice Cream In The Mail
They were always scheming dreaming in room eight and a half
Passing around the pipe young men the type for a good laugh
What you gonna do today anything but attend class
In a green hazy daisy lazy fog so would the day pass
They were just like ice cream in the mail
Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail
Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail
They were just like ice cream in the mail
I was a rebel caught in a lie called the American way
Pay your taxes hate the reds kneel to Jesus and pray
But there were cracks on the dam I doubted Uncle Sam
Slowly with tear-stained eyes I saw the lies of the great
scam
They were just like ice cream in the mail
Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail
Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail
They were just like ice cream in the mail
Dorm sixty-two of Graystone U I was feeling blue
Woodie Guthrie went there I know it’s true
All my chums turned out to be bums oh no
I was in the fight of my life and they’re no show
Well things have a way of working out if you keep living
The devil is the Prince of Lies and Jesus so forgiving
But in this crazy world of ours they call the darkness light
The crucified my Lord on Cavalry I know that ain’t right
They were just like ice cream in the mail
Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail
Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail
They were just like ice cream in the mail
So salute the flag boast and brag tis Injun burial ground
You’ll never know what to seek out if you don’t know what’s
found
We’re a city shining so brightly on that lonely hill
But we could never understand the command “Thou Shall Not
Kill”
They were just like ice cream in the mail
Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail
Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail
They were just like ice cream in the mail
