about

I wrote this song to make myself laugh.

lyrics

you’re never alone, you’re never alone
you’re never alone with your clone

you can go out for the night and still stay at home
you can call yourself on your cellular phone
you don’t need a mirror to see how you’ve grown
you’re never alone with your clone

you can talk to yourself and it won’t look weird
you can shave every day and still grow a beard
have your duplicate personal re-engineered
you’re never alone with your clone

you can walk all the time in the other guy’s shoes
you can give up your life for the cause that you choose
and watch the reports on the evening news
you’re never alone with your clone

it’s a bi-focal schizophrenic occurrence
standing in for yourself in a feat of endurance
you can kill yourself, collect the insurance
you’re never alone with your clone

you can suffer the victim and be your own thief
both sides of the law, above and beneath
you can be your own dentist and pull your own teeth
you’re never alone with your clone

you can marry yourself if the laws will allow
have sex with yourself but don’t ask me how
immediate instant, the future is now
you’re never alone with your clone

and if you cloned your own clone in multiplication
there would be no division in your population
and you could be your own united nation
you’re never alone with your clone

and clone upon clone like the fishes and bread
you could oh so fruitfully settle and spread
until the whole wide world was identically bred
you’re never alone with your clone

as above and below in immaculate view
you would look just like god who would look just like you
and there would be nothing that you couldn’t do
you’re never alone with your clone

you could write your own warning upon your own wall
in monotonous sameness the clarion call
then you would go crazy and so would we all
you’re never alone with your clone
