(A villanelle, about my Jeopardy run, and with no rabbits. That should be three bonus points right there.)
They pulled my name out of a hat
Answered their questions as best I could
And then I went home, and that was that.
I guess I've always been a bookish cat
Never paid off like they said it would
They pulled my name out of a hat...
Train to Chicago in four hours flat
Forty-two be enough? I supposed it should.
And then I went home, and that was that.
Six months later had a pleasant chat
With a gal named Corina from Hollywood (ooh, Culver City) -
They pulled my name out of a hat.
Five weeks poring over every stat,
A plane and a taxi and there I stood,
And then I went home, and that was that.
(thrash kazoo solo)
Six-game streak with a shit-hot bat;
Pays to be lucky even if you're good.
They pulled my name out of a hat,
And then I went home, and that was that.

Out Of A Hat - Paco del Stinko
I'm down here, where I don't belong
I feel so queer and so very wrong
I see a helmet, I see a nurse
When I see the Hatamaran I just feel worse
Into the air it goes then it grows, grows, grows
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) You think you are
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) In your flying car
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) You think I am
I am not your man
Genie help me, I'm all alone
Please do tell me that I'm going home
I need an exit, I need release
I feel so trapped down here I'm begging you please
Up and away I'll fly then it's bye, bye, bye
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) You think you are
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) In your flying car
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) You think I am
I am not your man
Your crystal ball sees much but not everything
You're sitting tall and tough just stop leveraging
The witches talk to you, you bow your head
The fixes that you do, do now forget
Oh, Horatio, you are so cruel
All parade and show but I'm no fool
I will escape, from your chapeau
And then it will collapse into a flat plateau
Until then I try then I'll cry, cry, cry
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) You think you are
(Hoo-doo-do-ooo) In your flying car

Out of a Hat

The wind picked up now I’m out of a hat
I lost my rent in a day at the track
my horse got sick, ‘cuz he ate where he shat
My sugar sweet lies are turning to fat
I can pull a habit -out of a hat
Got my money, need to grab it –out of a hat
Pocket knife, I can stab it – out of a hat
Nice position with my gambit – out of a hat
My bookie likes cookies so I’m rushin’ to bake

Out Of A Hat
Billy & The Psychotics
It's so over .. i don't know what i'm doing anymore
Let's pretend you haven't already had it before;
that you're not saying what a pain I am … today
CH
Well I can't take it
you disintegrate what was permanent
you've made some changes
And I can't top that
I can't pull it out of a hat
i'm bored too… has that occurred to you?
Well i guess you never thought that through - or did you?
So you say enough to shut me up for a couple days,
but when i want more, you've gone so far away
CH/BR
you said
you love me
when we made love
that night
and you said you don't lie?
i'm still here … i'm just the same as i was the other day -
it's you who changed
Maybe I'm a little … crazy..
a little … scared, perhaps a little edgy
just maybe…

Re: Out of a Hat
Been livin' out of hat for a year and a half
I don't know what to do anymore
Been livin' out of a hat, can't get my edge back
Since I lost my home in the storm
They said, son, it never gets easier anymore
Son, it never gets easier anymore
Livin' out of a hat
for a year and a half
with nothin' to do but wait
Got a bad, bad feelin' that it's all gonna come to an end
Well, I've been eatin' my shoes
with a knife and a spoon
Got a spit shine clean on my plate
When the breaks don't come, you gotta bend with the wind and mend
Cause the breathin' never gets easier
when you're livin' out of hope
And the livin' don't get easier
when you know, you know, you know, you know...
When you kissed me
underneath the Christmas tree
chords struck holy chrome
You know, I never wanted to be your bride
I let myself slip and I take a hit
You know that I feel sick when you're gone
I walk into the fog and the knife goes in
and I'm bleedin' while I swan
And I must be out of your mind
But you're the only thing in mine
Livin' out of a hat and I keep movin backwards
I'm lookin' at death from above
And I'm runnin out of room in my closet
Got nothin' to do with this love
You and I, we've got that thing,
that people always try to find
Can't you see you were destined to love me?
I've already made up your mind
Hey, I'm gonna make it easier from here
Hey, let's take it easier from here
Everything's so undefined
You got my money underneath your blinds
My ears are ringin, Van Morrisson's singin
Feelin' empty after the show
I'm gettin blue and all that I'm doin'
is askin why you had to go
It hurts too much to think about the end
Oh, I'm writhing around on the floor
Please don't leave me alone again
don't wanna feel like this anymore
I don't know what to do anymore

Re: Out of a Hat
soft black velvet
holds a candle to
what I'm touching
inner lining of
reckless but I like it
circle rim over matter
this incident ends splattered
across my visions of
imagination young
self demystified
and put on a shelf
to collect dust
and be admired
but never read
or other colors
pull it out my hat
better than my
the shelf sits
as it's prone to do
my imagination dust
collection bits of residue
I wouldn't have believed it
when I was young
but now I have a hard time
believing where I'm from
distant lands of mine mind
collecting achronological time
only tied and bind by
silent swiveling chains inside
as I age I forget
or is it forfeit
which ever it may be
my hat is melting
soft velvet lining
makes the fall softer
as I grow older
I accept it's my fault
we're told we can be anything
but it's just not true
because as hard as I tried
I was only ever you
