Cherry picking through the stars
|
And falling cannonballs
|
Waiting for the break of dawn
|
To start its morning crawl
|
Polluted rays of filtered light
|
Tropical and warm
|
Making shadows through
|
The snow white resin covered skulls
|
|
Happy birthday to the war
|
|
Standing by the wall
|
A rainbow made of stars
|
Under seven difference shades of grey
|
Spreading out across the arc
|
Days of wonder spent
|
Out there killing time
|
Now this may not leave a mark on me
|
But I sure as hell was there
|
|
Caravanning on the moonlit
|
Locust covered trail
|
We came out like a stream of bats
|
Exploding from the well
|
Slipping through the whirlpools
|
Of trees and floating cars
|
Behind winter coated mule
|
Down record breaking falls
|
|
Into olblivions open jaws
|
|
Standing by the wall
|
A rainbow made of stars
|
Under seven difference shades of grey
|
Spreading out across the arc
|
Days of wonder spent
|
Out there killing time
|
Now this may not leave a mark on me
|
But I sure as hell was there
|
|
Happy birthday to the war
|
|
Days of wonder spent
|
By a rainbow made of stars
|
Under seven different shades of grey
|
Spreading out across the arc
|
Standing by the wall
|
Out there killing time
|
Now this may not leave a mark on me
|
But I sure as hell was there
|
|
Educated under God
|
To walk a neutral line
|
Give me neither poverty
|
Nor riches in my time
|
Take my body and my mind
|
My heart is far behind
|
With one dozen poems in my ears
|
Ricocheting wild
|
