She put on Astral Weeks
Said, "I love jazz," and winked at me
This is the last place I oughta be
But I can't drive, and I sure can't sleep

Around this time, I publicly
Was treating acid with anxiety
I was unwell, and suddenly
Her clown portraits spoke to me

You're in no shape
You're in no shape
All the king's horses, all the king's men
You may never be whole again

A publicist and a celibate
Started talking politics
By a small degree, she got him to admit
They're tacit fascists
Without knowing it

Oh, this went on and on
Performance art, an elaborate con
Baby, who wears pearls at four AM?
This pitching yuppie found meaning's end

In no shape
In no shape
All the king's horses, all the king's men
You may never be whole again
You may never be whole again
You may never be whole again

I saw something I shouldn't see
The awful truth, babe, reality
That I'd forfeit my existence
If someone let me just play with them
Dawn long broke by the time
I realized that I lost my mind
I ate an ice cream
Dazed in the street
But it never taste quite as sweet
Again
Again

I thought maybe it was new Chuck Prophet myself.

Well, I certainly admire this sort of writing! This new stuff of his is fun and trippy in VERY relatable ways....

Heard the influence of Beck as well.  Gotta hear more of him.

Agreed - reminds me of the Beck songs that remind me of the Gainsbourg songs.

And another candidate for the 7½ point rating.  Not ready to give it an 8 but 7 seems too low a rating in my opinion.

Agreed! In a recent Washington Post article, Bob Weir said of poor-fidelity digital music that "You can’t listen to that stuff very long... It’s tiring to the brain”.

Thank goodness for RP's FLAC stream - I could listen to this kind of music all day long!
