rickety rackety from spare parts by my sister grenadine

they say your father surely was
ruined by green lemons and cartoons

and his mother she swam
out of her old neighborhood again

her high-school teacher was featured
in a wild life documentary
on tv
i have seen it
with my own three eyes

his tax advisor he had heard
about a man who likes wearing blue skirts

they say your uncle used to live
in a cabin on a mountain top near a cliff

one of his aunties she had gone
long before the war and everything else was won

her favorite cousin had a crush on a nun
who helped teaching geography
and was fond of seeing
the whole wide world
beyond her pond
or a book

well it took her quite a while
to get around the globe
she was traveling with a couple
they directed daily soaps

my boyfriend's girlfriend always longs
for election posters and late-night copy shops

she´s from that patchwork family
of marathon runners and strangers raising bees

some older sister was assisting
the vice president of a bank
they had made & lost a great fortune
on a black friday
but it´s hard to say
how that story would end
in the end

they signed a lot of papers
with a pen from the last century
that was when they succeeded in
flying to the moon and back
with a hacky sack kind of
machinery

kind of machinery
kind of machinery

hacky sack moon and back
hacky sack where it´s at
rickety racket
machinery


oh wicked prehistoric t rex
i can sense that you were a vegetarian
now i know that we all misunderstood you
