A. Partridge/The Heads
|
|
Pink confetti, shotgun wedding
|
Rocket secrets someone's shredding
|
Nineteenth floor.
|
|
Laundry ticket that exploded
|
Joust with Quaker pamphlet goaded
|
Into war.
|
|
Ankle deep we heroes amble
|
Ankel deep we wade
|
Ankel deep through someone else's
|
Ticker tape parade
|
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
Falls papersnow
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
All of our works blow away
|
|
Petals fell on Petaluma
|
Till-receipt from Montezuma's
|
Burger Hut.
|
|
Every day a billion dollars
|
Fall as black and white blue-collars
|
Plough their rut.
|
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
Falls papersnow
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
All of our works blow away
|
|
Ankle deep we heroes amble
|
Ankel deep we wade
|
Ankel deep through someone else's
|
Ticker tape parade
|
|
Jets folded from Wall Street Journal
|
Shoot down cartons care of Colonel's
|
Chicken Ranch
|
|
Kleenex where the guy's been cryin'
|
Goodbye note from girl who's flyin'
|
To new branch
|
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
Falls papersnow
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
All of our works blow away
|
|
Letters that I'd meant to send you
|
To torpedo and up-end you
|
Sheet by sheet
|
|
Tore up all the beg and bitter
|
Add them to the drift of litter
|
On your street
|
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
Falls papersnow
|
Softly, softly, softly
|
All of our works blow away
|
|
Ankle deep we heroes amble
|
Ankel deep we wade
|
Ankel deep through someone else's
|
Ticker tape parade
