Darkling Down - Walter Becker[00:00:00]
Well along in the twenty first hour[00:00:24]
When the whole damn grid goes down[00:00:27]
This is how a party gets started[00:00:30]
In for a penny in for a pound[00:00:32]
All at once the whole joint goes quiet[00:00:42]
And all the wavy lines go straight[00:00:45]
One fool among fools is wondering[00:00:48]
What happens if I die too late[00:00:51]
Get back with your dime store nihilism[00:00:54]
Big daddy's on a glory run[00:00:57]
Gettin' down on the cellular level[00:01:00]
Just in case I got to call someone[00:01:03]
Darkling down on a darkling plain[00:01:05]
In the dim dank night of the pissin' down rain[00:01:10]
Darkling down on the balls of his ass[00:01:16]
While he prays and waits for the storm to pass[00:01:22]
Lemme show you where the good thing happens[00:01:35]
It's a barbershop in inglewood[00:01:39]
Too bad we won't get past the bouncer[00:01:41]
Sadly I've been banned for good[00:01:45]
Well there's a coffee shop right round the corner[00:01:53]
The proprietor knows my name[00:01:56]
Cup of joe and a vicks inhaler[00:01:59]
Now you're ready for the big boy game[00:02:02]
Steady son come seven come eleven[00:02:05]
If either one of us can count that high[00:02:08]
Muscatel if the deal gets dicey[00:02:11]
Milk and honey in the by and by[00:02:14]
Darkling down it's a damn disgrace[00:02:17]
Going round and round in a very small place[00:02:22]
Darkling down with a hole in his soul[00:02:28]
That he can't explain and he can't control[00:02:34]
For the fun or for the money[00:03:17]
For the f**k of it or just because[00:03:20]
Listen friend this is no damn picnic[00:03:23]
But let's imagine for a minute that it was[00:03:26]
Who will feast on this buzzard's banquet[00:03:29]
Who will render my heroic bust[00:03:31]
Who will choke on my lachrymose musings[00:03:34]
Who will eat my zero dust[00:03:37]
Who will wear this puke streaked tunic[00:03:40]
Who shall gorge on this cup of spleen[00:03:43]
Who will sing about the good bad and ugly[00:03:46]
And all and everything in between[00:03:49]
Darkling down this is god's good man[00:03:51]
On his hands and knees livin' god's good plan[00:03:57]
Darkling down and we don't know still[00:04:03]
When he'll come around if he ever will[00:04:08]
Darkling down on a zero g dive[00:04:15]
And we just can't say will the fool survive[00:04:20]
Darkling down in a seven g turn[00:04:27]
Glowing like a coal in the after burn[00:04:32]
