Gridlock! (Absolute Treasure)

Song number 22 is Gridlock! It’s about gridlock.

Yes sir!

Gridlock!
Look what you did! Look what you did!
You locked up the grid locked up the grid
You got the whole world flippin’ it’s lid [Ah…]

Torture! It’s something we do at night for fun
Can’t fit my burger in your bun
I think I’m not the only one
Who’s feeling so alone
Waiting patiently for a cyclone
I will call you on the phone
And turn your bleeding heart to stone

And I ain’t playing no joker, poker
I ain’t playing no joker, poker
I ain’t playing no joker… poker!

One night in a lifetime of lies
Bloody tears are the tears she cries
And I ain’t joking with your tape recorder
You were sent here to restore the order
And give us this one more moment of sanity… …ee… oh!

Come on!

Science! It’s just a suspension of belief
A way to explain away the grief
And every policeman needs a chief

Gridlock! Look what you did! Look what you did!
You locked up the grid, locked up the grid
You know you gotta, gotta keep your love hid
From all those roguish thieves
Who live to kneecap knobby knees
Who cares what anyone here believes
I wear my heart on rayon sleeves

And I ain’t playing no joker, poker
And I ain’t playing no joker, poker
I ain’t playing no joker… poker

One night in nightlife, so white
The vampress she takes a bite
She wallows in her delight
And you lose your will to fight

The news today was a real shocker
You sitting down and now you’re off your rocker
Just another prisoner of (?) fantasy …ee… oh.

Come on!

I ain’t playing no joker, poker
No joker, poker
I ain’t playing no joker, poker
No joker, poker
I ain’t playing no joker, poker
No joker, poker
No joker, poker
No joker, poker
No joker, poker
