Peace sign on the window
|
Japanese car
|
You will remember the pap on the radio
|
Big blue policeman says stay where you are
|
Surrender your Chinese arms
|
|
Rock show Romeo
|
Black and white shoes
|
Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime
|
Scrape off the dross, keep what you can use
|
And leave the weaker ones behind
|
|
They step outside to step out slow
|
In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow
|
|
They evolve in time
|
Wind finely on the vine
|
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
|
An unwelcome fate
|
May ferry all away
|
But cold comfort flowers
|
Will bloom and decay
|
|
Pink clouds, summer sorrow
|
Oceanside swales
|
If you don't feel pretty
|
With your face in the tide
|
Well, file your complaint in weary detail
|
And tell the little people you tried
|
|
They step outside to step out slow
|
In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow
|
|
They evolve in time
|
Wind finely on the vine
|
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
|
An unwelcome fate
|
May ferry all away
|
But cold comfort flowers
|
Will blossom and fade
|
