Mr. Precarious

I’m a nanny goat on the surface of Mars
A goldfish wriggling on the seat of a car
I’m an elephant, dancing on ice
A wedding cake guarded by mice

Don’t know how I ended up here
or where I can go
But I’m not gonna last long here
that much I know

I’m a pacifist at an NRA rally
I took a wrong turn down a dark alley
My head swims, my heart’s in a flurry
I try to run but it comes out a scurry

Don’t know how I ended up here
or where I can go
But I’m not gonna last long here
that much I know

My position is precarious
My position is precarious
My position is precarious
And there ain’t nothing hilarious about that

I feel strange, I feel uncertain
like I’m facing the final curtain
It’s been a while since I lost my faith
I’ve got to get the hell out of this place

Don’t know how I ended up here
or where I can go
But I’m not gonna last long here
that much I know

My position is precarious
My position is precarious
My position is precarious
And there ain’t nothing hilarious about that
