DEAD IN THE
WATER IT'S NOT A
PAID VACATION
THE SONS AND
DAUGHTERS OF CITY
OFFICIALS ATTEND
DEMONSTRATIONS
IT'S HARDLY A
SINK OR SWIM
WHEN ALL IS WELL IF
THE TICKET SELLS
OUT WITH A
WHIMPER IT'S NOT A
BLAZE OF GLORY
YOU LOOK DOWN
FROM YOUR TEMPLE
AS PEOPLE ENDEAVOR
TO MAKE IT A STORY
AND CHISEL
A MARBLE WORD
BUT ALL IS LOST IF
IT'S NEVER HEARD
BUT I'VE GOT SOMEONE
TO MAKE REPORTS
THAT TELL ME HOW
MY MONEY'S SPENT
TO BOOK MY STAYS
AND DRAW MY BLINDS
SO I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S
REALLY THERE
AND ALL I NEED'S
A GREAT BIG
CONGRATULATIONS
4 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
I'LL KEEP YOUR
DREAMS YOU PAY
ATTENTION FOR ME
AS STRANGE AS
IT SEEMS I'D RATHER
DISSOLVE THAN HAVE
YOU IGNORE ME
THE GROUND MAY
BE MOVING FAST BUT
I TIED MY BOOTS TO
A BROKEN MAST
THE DIFFERENCE
IS CLEAR YOU THROW
IT IN YOUR CAULDRON
RUST AND VENEER
DUSK AND DAWN
STEINWAYS AND
BALDWINS
YOU START WITH A
SIMPLE STOCK OF
ALL THE WASTE AND
SALT TO TASTE
BUT **** MY LUCK
AND **** THESE
FRIENDS THAT KEEP
ON COMBING BACK
THEIR SMILES
I SAVE MY GRACE
WITH HALF-*****
GUILT AND LAY DOWN
THE QUILT UPON
THE LAWN
SPREAD MY ARMS
AND SOAK UP
CONGRATULATIONS
