lyrics

Feel the rain fall and wash away it all
With fingers stained of nicotine and tar
Minutes prior to hoisting the fanfare call
They've lined the well and taken the alley bar
We’d a sip of enlightened performance drip
A show by the young neo-Civil War soldiers  
A timely kiss from those pouting red rose lips
She glowed, she glowed from head to heels to hips

The words they pour like smoke through a soldered door
I’ll gladly trade the reason for the rhyme when it’s my time
The books will always say, be the way, be the way
Be the beacon on the shore, be the hinges on the door
On a whim the A was set to a green clarinet
Oh, do the dance, do your worst, watch for puddles and mind your words
