i'm just a bundle of neurons, like you and john the baptist
and i raced down the hill with confucius, to see who could run the fastest
with machiavelli and joan of arc, i questioned the meaning of fate
as we sat beside the seashore with alexander the great
cleopatra and cesare borgia went in for a swim
but caligula sat all sad and alone because no one would talk to him
i started to build a campfire with pocahontas and buffalo bill
when they returned from their excursion picking blueberries on the hill
we sat around the fire singing ballads until dawn
and i began to wonder where the elephants had all gone
errol flynn and theodore roosevelt started a poker game
but i did not play because all the cards in the deck were the same
every card in the deck was the ace of spades
with a bullet hole in it shot by jack slade
every bet they made was called by judas iscariot
who raked up all the chips and rode away in a silver chariot
i'm just a bundle of neurons whirling through space
they say i have messalina's heart and st teresa's face
queen victoria's sense of humor and marie antoinette's smirk
but i have never had a job because i don’t like to work
