6. The Pneumatic Blues

Back Forth
   

midi-demo 1

midi-demo 2 midi-demo 3

    I've got the pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

Hear the capsule leave the bottle-neck!
I hear it zip-zap-zoo.
Hear the bubble leave the boiling pot!
I hear it plip-plap-plop.

    All with these pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

I will press to serve the toothpaste-tube
I'm glad I'm not aware.
Of the press behind the circling blood
At least I won't be there

    I've got the pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

Well, the outside's in,
That is where the pnuema-man'll begin
Well, the outside's in,
That is where the pnuema-man will end.

    All with these pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

I can press an orange
In my squeezer-cup.
I can swallow down
Or throw it up.

    All with these pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

Dust-pail, fire-pail, the water-pail
Measure weight, what's press to fall?
Mounting up and shaping round itself
The pail that I should fail.

    All with these pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

I can function on the toilet
The press, the fall, the shower.
Do in bed what's better here unsaid,
The press the small, the wower.

    All with these pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.

What has made the fresh-cut orange-meat
Seem shining with its juice?
And the brain-cell press behind thought seat
Old heads now to be bruised.

    All with theses pneumatic blues,
    And I ain't got caught in juices.
    I've got these pneumatic Blues
    And I ain't got caught in juice.
