FEATHER DUSTER
(Words and music by Douglas Hinton)

Feather duster on the wall
I don't know what to make of you at all
'Cause this lady told me
That you were a scalping device
And ever since then
I've had trouble sleepin' at night
Feather duster look speak to me
Even though you've no mouth or eyes to see
My world has been turned upside down
And I need a hand
To understand at this jucture
Your brand new function

That's the state I'm in
'Cause the lady told me
That to be a man
You had to lose some skin
Mama please tell that quirky lady
To leave us alone
And take her scary theories
About feather dusters home

Oh my soul

Feather duster what are you ?
Everything I was taught seemed so true
I used to believe
That you were simply a dusting device
Then came that lady
With tall tales of torture of vice
Feather duster please help me
I feel lost
Yes I am all at sea
That quirky lady
Told me growing up meant pain
So I never want to hear of growing up again

That's the state I'm in
Because the lady told me
That to be a man
You had to lose some skin
Mama please tell that quirky lady
To leave us alone
And take her scary theories
About feather dusters home

Oh my soul

No housework for me
Since housework equals trauma you see
If doin' housework means
Havin' a feather duster
Anywhere near me
You see ?
