Earthworm Jim: Use Your Head

lyrics by: Xander Martin
Written on Feb 03, 2015

Spiky tunnel, very spiky
Knew I should've worn my Nike
Pit of death is beckoning for
Me to take the fall and die or 
Wait up here until I die of
starvation and innate fear 
Maybe I am crazy but I
think I know what I should do 

May-be, I will do something frightening, I will descend like lightning
Upon this godforsaken place they call Buttville

Diving from the sky, I spin my
Head around so much I'm dizzy
Only choice is to obey the
Voices in my head that tell me

Spin your face around and go through
Walls of lethal earthworm killer
Trust your instincts and learn how to
Pretend you're a helicopter

Why not simply USE YOUR HEAD?
No more chances WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.
Maybe you just NEED A MED.

Prove, your, worth to the evil queen
Do something she's never seen
Are, you, lean or are you mean?

Michael Harlin commented:
Needs a little bit better structure but overall awsome poem, and was buttville a joke or a metaphor?
Shanta commented:
Building a space shuttle calls for a design, so is your poem.
