Dead in the water[00:00:01]
It's not a paid vacation[00:00:03]
The sons and daughters of city officials[00:00:05]
Attend demonstrations[00:00:07]
It's hardly a sink or swim[00:00:08]
When all is well if the ticket sells[00:00:10]
Out with a wimper[00:00:13]
It's not a blaze of glory[00:00:15]
You look down from your temple[00:00:17]
As people endeavor to make it a story[00:00:20]
And chisel a marble word[00:00:22]
But all is lost if it's never heard[00:00:24]
But I've got someone to make reports[00:00:27]
That tell me how my money's spent[00:00:30]
To book my stays and draw my blinds[00:00:32]
So I can't tell what's really there[00:00:35]
And all I need's a great big congratulations[00:00:37]
I'll keep your dreams[00:00:40]
You pay attention for me[00:00:41]
As strange as it seems[00:00:43]
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me[00:00:45]
The ground may be moving fast[00:00:47]
But I tied my boots to a broken mast[00:00:49]
The difference is clear[00:00:52]
You throw it in your cauldron[00:00:54]
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn[00:00:56]
Steinways and Baldwins[00:00:58]
You start with a simple stock of all the waste[00:00:59]
And salt to taste[00:01:03]
But damn my luck and damn these friends[00:01:05]
That keep on combing back their smiles[00:01:09]
I save my grace with half-assed guilt[00:01:12]
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn[00:01:15]
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations[00:01:20]
