Gerson's Whistle

Written by Anand Wilder, Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton
Gerson's always whistling Hear him stomping up and down the hall Oh
His vitriol's a missile And he wields his temper like a wrecking ball Oh
You know one of these days I'll get out of this place It's too damn loud
Watching Robert Mitchum films The volume's on 11 in his room Oh
Never sleeps The Bennies keep him vibrating from midnight until noon Oh
You know one of these days I'll get out of this place It's too damn loud
But you know what they say The trouble makers made The world go 'round
Oh Can you hear There is something there In the darkness
Them voices bringing me down I feel that I cracked my head open You might feel safe here now How will you know when there's danger
They yell out okay crazy The world must have made him insane
