While strumming guitar and singing folk tunes 
on the street before the national bank, 
Bob senses danger in the great blue sky, 
so he zooms up on rocket of his heart 
to blast the asteroid hurtling toward the Earth, 
then returns, and continues the next verse. 

While strolling arm in arm with his girlfriend 
on Positively Fourth Street in Greenwich Village, 
Bob senses danger in the mountain range 
so he teleports to top of Devils Tower 
where he wrestles Zeus for the Holy Grail, 
then takes Suze out to the Cafe Wha. 

While riding chrome horse with the Cheshire cat 
to give out money he steals from the rich, 
Bob senses danger at the carnival 
so he leaps from bell tower of Notre Dame 
and rescues Ophelia from River Styx 
to play Beauty Queen on Desolation Row. 

While piloting Titanic on the sea 
to sing with Mermaids in the Pantheon, 
Bob senses danger within the White House 
so he dons mask of Dionysian clown 
and scams King Midas from the crown he stole 
to save America from tyranny. 

While volunteering at the bankrupt church 
to serve food to children on Christmas Eve, 
Bob senses danger in the twilight zone 
so he arrests the greedy oligarchs 
who enslave people with credit card debt 
and frees them from the game of win or die. 

While running from assassins of state power 
to ride sandworms in dunes, and harvest spice, 
Bob senses danger in the galaxy 
so he leads revolution of the lost 
and fights for freedom in the Holy Land 
to build telescope on the Temple Mount. 

While building houses for war refugees 
to expand paradise across the land, 
Bob senses danger in stock market game 
so he paints dollar bills on maple leaves 
and funds scholarships for the poor to learn 
we weave our fate with every choice we make. 

While playing chess with Hades on the beach 
to win lost souls who vote for Lucifer, 
Bob senses danger in America 
so he crawls blind on six crooked highways 
to lead us all to the mountain of ghosts 
where he catches blasting rain with his eyes.
