That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your sun bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

d.: Well, I have three questions to occupy my mind now when I need to distract myself. The first question is, “In the English language, what’s another word for synonym?” I find it interesting that there is no other word in this language for the word that means “another word for.”
The second question is, “If someone has an accident that cuts off both arms at the glenohumeral joint and both legs at the pelvic girdle, meaning that the victim has no arms or legs and no stumps, where does medical personnel take his/her blood pressure?”
My third question that will occupy my mind is the most disturbing. Actually, it has three parts to it, so it’s probably like three questions than one, but they’re all related. I wonder “Who is Calculating Einstein Katt?” I mean, really, who ever heard of a talking cat? Well, listen to this, she says all the time. And “Is there really a Planet of the Talking Cats,” or is someone pulling my leg? If so, that person is a really good ventriloquist.
The next question is the most disturbing; that being, “Is Cal.E. telling me the truth or is she doing drugs in the bathroom? If she is, well, you tell her, big guys.
And, if she is telling the truth, what does she want me to do for her?” I guess that’s four questions. That’s four questions, and I still have more, like, is Cal.E. telling me the truth about Meow Z. Tongue? Maybe she's just seeing a Maine Coon and imagining that it talks to her if she really is doing drugs in the bathroom.
She’s the only inhabitant of Earth who’s ever seen or talked to the giant talking cat. And, if he is real, is he as mean and destructive enough to destroy the world that we live in? if so, why? And if not, why not? If an alien watched the news broadcasts every evening, s/he would think that this is an awful place to live, and I’m not sure that the alien would be too far off base. I say that because a television station in Houston ran a survey asking people if they would rather watch puppies being born or someone dying on the six o’clock news. The answer that most people gave was the latter, even though playing with puppies has been medically proven to be just as effective at relieving depression as most antidepressants. But my main question is…
C.: Well, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
