Inside The Law Outside The Void


Larger stop signs are required by the law

Traveling at the speed of light is not legal

Going slow in Leonia is down right evil


All things are prohibited in Bergen County

They don't like strangers either

Like out of towners in their cars

Streets are meant for their own people


Too many vehicles passing through

More than one at a time becomes confusing

Cars cause pollution in their community

Too much congestion is bad for business

Strangers get $200.00 fines to visit


More space is needed in outer space

The deeper the better in our estimation

Don't drive cars through town at any hour

Or you'll get fines and your little dog too


People own restaurants and shops in Leonia

They sell rice and chicken and give out tickets

To foreigners from other planets like Atlantic City

Like outer spacers like out of towners man

Where there are no boundaries

No speed limits to speak of right this minute


Speed rapidly descends, fades into particle decay

As they run away with reason in the light of day

From New Jersey, a foreign land on any given day


Reputations, law and order are at stake

Or is it logic in the Garden State that escapes

Atlantic City is the playground of the world

And in Leonia they have squirrels to be obeyed


Time and space are play things to Leonians

Code enforcement comes first before snow is allowed to fall

It is the law and smoking is illegal without a permit

Filters too if you can catch or find them on the cigarette


Larger citations must be created in the cosmic void

Served inside the law outside with traffic noise

To stop the speed of light and slow down cars

At rush hour in Leonia

Where it is always night at traffic lights

And just minutes away from Mars
