This a no
You should have met the guy, I've been saying it so often,
it's like a swingin' party, and
I'm the only one not invited.
Where those dilettantes wave their wits like wands,
and curse the livin' for not snatchin'
days like prizes.
There's tar poised
at the waterfront.
Your gas bottle heater is
a bin filled with ice
And I'm overdressed to
miss the point
When I wake up from a
tropical slumber
So far away from even just
making the numbers
But I could never see you in the light
What chance have I
got finding you in shadow?
I'll take the notes, know it's a road
I'll meet you someday
out there in the shadow
You would've loved the guy
Eyes like windows out to a 37 -letter
Dr.
Seuss invention
Propellants fanning the motors
Pink smoke rising and lowering
Stairwells dipping,
waves surviving just to reach you
You existin' just for what you want
Could leave you a miss on
the calamities you name
You give me far more
than you could grab
But you can't take it with you,
the wisdom, candor
You give me the wild lies,
the horseshit, the slander
I could never see you in the light
What chance have I got finding
you in shadows?
You left me off the list, hey,
another night
I'll meet you out there
Sunday in the shadows
Go
If I could never see you in the light
What chance have I got find
ing you in shadows?
I'll take the notes, I know that it's alright
I'll meet you someday out there in the shadows
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh
