40 Watt Solution - Cotton Mather

So you think you got

40 watt solution

From the cattleman’s rally

To a weekend in the Valley of the Dolls

And you’re raising up the victory flag

But not the cause

Turn me on today

40 watt solution

It’s a bitter state secret

That someone wrote down

And forgot what it was

The commission that determines these things

Is stoned of course

40 watt solution

To illuminate the tent of wasps

And send the whole nest reeling

40 watt solution

To enlighten a girl (who) wouldn’t hurt my feelings

Villa Vargo’s gone

Written off with Houston

So we’re putting our vengeance

In the shadow of another time zone’s fall

When the current hits your filament, man

We’ll blow your bulb
