Mr. Tuesday from Lemon Wedge by Nicky Flowers

what could it mean
when mr tuesday comes to town
what does he want
what does he need

everybody wanted to help him
if only he’d stop being so tough
why’d he wear that mask
why’d he push us away

i’m walking down the street
and i see mr tuesday
can’t help but look at him
he’s got so many eyes (such beautiful eyes)

and he pleads to me
he speaks in wingdings 2
but he’s such a caring man
i’d lay my life down for him

what could it mean
when mr tuesday comes to town
what does he want
what does he need

i call my friends in the media
and a conference is arranged
community compassion
makes for great news these days

i see him in the hallway
past the press corps kept at bay
i can only assume for someone in his place
that it’s a red letter day

as he walks up to the pulpit
his tentacles grip the stage
mr tuesday reveals his clever disguise
and we saw the plan he had long-since devised

nobody was prepared for this
if only we knew
i guess that’s why he wore that mask
(wait, wh,) we just let him pass through

what did it mean
when mr tuesday came to town
what did he want
what did he need
