The Loneliest Ranger

 

 

A Catholic Negro in Pittsburgh

 

The existence of that spiritual entity

AKA “The Groovemaster”

Is proven by St. Thomas Aquinas.

As you would know

If you stepped in like me

Into a pawnshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Which is right near “The Poor People Banque”

Past the old guy telling another old guy

“I tell you what.  There ain’t no hustlers like us anymore.”

Just like what I bet Jesus said really

Goin’ to take a look at the tambourine

And you see that 45 record

Shining there from the Groovemaster.

 

And you remember you is safe

Like when in “The Exorcist” they listen

To the devil talking and say

“It’s English – but backwards.  What an asshole.”

Which starts everything right up

The calling of the exorcist, the young priest

Saying “Take me” and going to heaven

The little girl not remembering anything then

 

Not remembering -- what you hope for the poor whores

Shivering there as you leave

You thinking of that Groovemaster song.

 

Safe.  We are safe.  We just don’t know it.

The Groovemaster coming at the end of days.
