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 plans
So
I
can't tell
what's really there
And
all I need's
a great big
Congratulations
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
damn
my luck
and
damn
these friends
That
keep on
combing back
their smiles
I
save
my grace
with half-assed
guilt
And
lay down
the quilt
upon the lawn
Spread
my arms
and
soak up
Congratulations
