Incommunicado Lyrics
I’ve been incommunicado for going on three days
and the silence stings staccato around my ears and face
and my hands are cold and shaking
from my latest fall from grace
and I’m ashamed to have to tell you
what I’ve managed to misplace
I could have been in California for coming up now on nine years
but I wouldn’t be here pining for you- I never would have made my way out here
where Dahmer sings the blues with Liberace as they sip on fifty cent beers
and watch themselves on a tube Hitachi holding hands in a bathroom mirror
when you coming home when you coming home when you coming home?

"Out here where Dahmer sings the blues with Liberace as they sip on fifty cent beers and watch themselves on a tube Hitachi holding hands in a bathroom mirror"
Awesome stanza. Jeffery Dahmer the serial killer and Liberace the flamboyant pianist and showman were both from West Allis, Wisconsin (a suburb of Milwaukee). Both were neglected and unnurtured as children and grew up to be depressed adults (singing the blues and drinking cheap beer). Both had inflated egos and heightened senses of self-importance, but led lifestyles that lacked substance - watching themselves on tube Hitachis (an old fashioned, cheap TV). Both were also homosexual, but thought they had acknowledged it to themselves, were not open about it in their everyday lives (holding hands in a bathroom mirror).
