lyrics

Bows to black and, nose to laces, fingers flattened, start the races
Feed the critics, log and splinter, fuel the furnace, in comes winter

It’s all been done for the day
I never come up much this way
I feel well enough for the rain
To render me pliably sane

Grease the carriage, wax the wet road, bless this marriage, mind the elbows
To the weather, wild and reckless, lace for leather, spill the filled glass

The warlock was bearded with angst
He leapt from the old cauldron tanks
To settle affairs with the witch
Whom he had covered in pitch

From the balcony flew the cheers, landing in unison, jarringly near
Her lips were quiet and taut, stretched by the nine-fifteen arms of the clock
The gallery sit cowardly still, watching the dragon devour the ill
We’d an hour to spend with the queen, as the king went out in his time machine
