Big Metal Flying Bug
A helicopter lives above my house Hovering over Fountain and Highland Smack in the middle of Hollywood I don't know why he lives up there But I have this sinking feeling It's not for the nice neighborhood Is he a macho hunter Stalking his evening prey Or is he the law enforcer Seeking to cage those gone astray Where is it he thinks his target is at Is it my house or yard, could it be? His spotlight scares my black cat Quite frankly it even frightens me A helicopter lives above my house Just what does he do up there I wonder if he ever sleeps Does he catch what he chases? Or get tired of circling in the air Such long hours he keeps Why can't he pick another night Or better yet - some other day I have to get some sleep tonight I wish he would just fly away I wish for a big can of insecticide Or that he'd locate the thug There is nowhere I can hide From the big metal flying bug |
