Ed-King Missile

[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具V2.0_20200810] [offset:0] [00:00.15]Ed was at the end of his rope an expression he detested [00:16.65]There is no rope he would scream at the laughing walls [00:23.88]There is only the end no hope no rope [00:25.89]Ending is better than mending [00:26.61]Doors of perception windows of opportunity [00:28.32]These are illusions like the killing floor [00:31.71]Ed spoke in a squeaky whiny voice [00:34.80]With perhaps a slight tinge of glee [00:36.06]But this was only because he couldn't be bothered [00:38.04]To try to develop a manner of speaking [00:40.86]That truly reflected his mood [00:42.81]This is a vaccum there is no air in this room [00:46.32]Despair is no fun anymore [00:49.02]Nihilism knocked three times on the ceiling [00:55.95]But the rosy fingers of dawn always inserted themselves [00:57.69]In the nose of unfulfilled promises [00:58.53]Angels sang Heysanna Hosanna [00:59.07]Paralyzed prima donnas danced in the streets all day [01:01.80]But when the darkness came everybody went home [01:04.53]I was ready everyone else was asleep [01:05.55]And while it might have been a relief to see [01:08.16]That I was right all along [01:08.97]Here I am still alone and trapped [01:09.69]Awaiting the endless end [01:10.44]And I can turn it all around [01:11.31]And laugh at it and laugh at myself [01:12.51]I can laugh louder than the walls the halls the waterfalls [01:14.28]Louder than Charles De Gaul or Fulton Mall [01:23.43]But I don't know what I'm laughing at [01:24.15]I don't know just what I think is so godd**n funny [01:28.53]I don't know why I don't just shut up [01:30.06]And give up and lay down and die [01:32.34]What do I have to complain about anyway [01:36.00]Ed asked his Pica*so I'm a millionaire [01:37.32]This wasn't actually true [01:38.10]Ed's Pica*so was an obvious forgery [01:41.46]His three Rothkos had just been singled out [01:44.79]In an article in 'Art forum' entitled [01:45.87]'The Three Most Insignificant Paintings of Mark Rothko' [01:48.69]And his Barbara Krugers had been irreparably damaged [01:51.39]By Rein Sanction and a few other bands from Gainesville [01:52.68]That refused to acknowledge the value of art [01:54.15]Come to think of it Ed mused [01:54.75]To the laminated roadkill coffee table that he had purchased [02:51.00]When times had seemed slightly less bleak [03:01.56]Come to think of it not only does art have no intrinsic value [03:04.77]But my collection has no extrinsic value either [03:06.51]I know I'm not a millionaire [03:07.08]But that's no reason to complain [03:14.10]There is no reason to complain [03:18.90]There is no reason to do anything [03:27.87]I don't believe in reason objective reality or collective farming [03:38.79]I don't believe in public speaking [03:40.26]Which is another reason why I'm here alone [03:42.33]I don't believe in life or death [03:59.34]I would kill myself but I don't believe in suicide [04:00.84]Ed put on a red shirt and took a quick walk around the block [04:09.30]While whistling softly to himself [04:10.08]He reentered his apartment screaming [04:18.32]There is no life on this planet [04:20.10]Jehovah One replaced all life with machinery five centuries ago [04:24.00]The so called Industrial Revolution [04:27.21]Was just another hoax and we all fell for it [04:30.06]'Cause we were all programmed to even I fell for it [04:33.51]I believe in the steam engine [04:34.71]Even though I don't believe in anything [04:36.90]Logical inconsistency is the Mr Bubble I bathe in [04:39.18]Each and every evening except for yesterday evening [04:45.42]When I roller bladed over to the Masonic Temple [04:48.12]To play pinochle with Pope John Paul the First [04:50.04]I really had no choice in the matter [04:50.79]Ed certainly could go on and on [04:52.02]And he did and he would and he will [04:53.55]Until you or I or somebody does something about it [04:56.19]Senator Sterno of Louisiana [04:56.76]Announced over closed circuit television [05:00.09]And as long as he continues to pontificate pointlessly [05:03.66]I will do nothing [05:04.62]Ed walked away from the program feeling fortified and stapled [05:07.80]His brain was buzzing the way it always did just after 'Jeopardy' [05:11.10]He loaded up the micro bus with atlases and poseidons [05:14.07]And headed for Pope County [05:15.63]I've had it he sang I've had it with puns alliteration [05:18.45]Russian literature Italian neorealism [05:20.73]Meaningless cross references and laundry lists of nonsense [05:25.26]I shall drive without a license without clothing without direction [05:26.88]And if I make it to Arkansas fine [05:28.95]And if I'm running late if I'm running a numbers game [05:31.26]It doesn't matter I shall keep on running [05:33.06]Yes this is the answer this is the ending I shall keep on running [05:35.97]Because a body in motion tends to stay emotional [05:38.58]And it's better to feel pain is better than emptiness [05:41.64]Emptiness is better than nothing and nothing is better than this
