The Case of the Silver Ticker

by My Altamont

1.
A box of Junior Mints has hired me to find A missing person on a dark and stormy night Some one who's got a clue, the kiss of a detective Hey, Mister Junior Mint, what's afoot and what's at hand? I've been turning the pages quicker In this book, "The Case Of The Silver Ticker" I was climbing back up the secret stairway The current resident was reading the same page This case and all good things have broken wide open Hey, Miss Inpersonal, I want to do this a long time I've been turning the pages quicker In this book, "The Case Of The Silver Ticker" I've been turning the pages quicker In this book, "The Case Of The Silver Ticker" Hey, we're onto something bigger We solved the Case Of The Silver Ticker Our life together is the dedication: Thank you for always being kind and patient Our life together is the dedication: Thank you for always being kind and patient

In steep cliffs, rocks all piled up Mysteries of your passing luck And ages pass, shells and bits of bone Forming new limestone To give things their turn There are no bad words For the coast today You never knew why you felt so good In the strangest of places Like in waiting rooms Or long lines that made you late Or mall parking lots on holidays There are no bad words For the coast today When we hold our breath Until nothing's left It all starts to fade See the stars From where the birds make their homes Staring back at us Indifferent but distanced perfectly Projected endlessly It's so fucking beautiful! There are no bad words For the coast today Then you ask "What's a palisade?" And if we're too late For happiness Then we move on out to the palisades When the sea pushes on the sand Where the views are cheap and spectacular If you would just take my hand
