From the recording Short Stories
Lyrics
Hello my story is not a good one
run away now if you have the time
it's a story of a sad departure
a story of a friend of mine
yeah
well it all happen when I was at my house
and the phone did ring
and a scary voice came down the line
and I said to my turtle don't you worry about a thing
but the government took my turtle
took my friend away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
now do you know anything about jail?
cause I think thats where I am now
hanging out with my cell mate dale
and he's laying on a bed wearing nothing but a towell
yeah
then later that evening I realised that noone was wearing belts
and later that evening I realised the food was really bad
and later that evening I realised a shot load of nurses
and later that evening I started say why why
but the government took my turtle
took my friend away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
now the nurse gave me an injection
and I was feeling kinda sleepy
my head felt like a box of jelly beans
.. yum yuum yum yum yum.
then I realised, then I realised.
my turtle was a crack pipe (times by heaps)
The government took my turtle
took my crack pipe away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
baah baah bah dumm
