Title: Maxwell's Silver Spaceship

Disclaimer: Velvet Goldmine belongs to Michael Stipe, Todd Haynes,
and a lot of other people, most namely not me. The original
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was written and performed by the
incomparable Beatles and was used as a base without permission. I'm
just a poor college student not trying to make any money from this,
and if you sue me, all you'll get is some soda bottles.
Author's Notes: Just popped into my head while I was listening to
Abbey Road. It's weird. And...yeah. And it doesn't rhyme, but that's
ok.

Mandy was glittery, wearing lots of silvery
Sequins on her gown
Late nights dancing with Jack Fairy
Ee-ee-ee-eeee...
Maxwell Demon still called Brian Slade
Approached her in the dark
"Can I dance with you, please,
Ma-ah-ah-ahndy?"
But shortly after their wedding,
A spaceship comes to Earth...
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
Back on the stage again Maxwell wears a dress again
At the crowd he gets annoyed
Wishing to become a famous pop i-i-i-dol...
He sees Curt nude jumping upon the stage
So he waits behind
Saying to his wife, "I want to be hi-i-i-im..."
As she smokes her cigarette, smiling,
"You'll touch the stars."
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
Now he's famous for fucking Curt Wild
Maxwell no longer Brian
Snorting Cocaine all of the ti-i-i-ime...
Arthur and Shannon screaming from backstage
Say, "oh please fuck me" (Maxwell must fuck me)
But Jerry gets to her first and Shannon lets go-o-o-oo
And as Arthur's given up forever,
He meets Curt on the roof
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
Zoom, zoom, Maxwell's silver spaceship
Came down to the Earth
