Lazy American Boy Blues

Speed it up
MIX the two
Drink what’s left
Sniffing glue
Bottomless walks
The longest of runs
Sketch him in chalk
And don’t shoot guns
Ballet dancer’s hair in buns
Dancing in an empty alley
Calling all the clowns who think freely
It’s a regular fair ground for the family
Where you exchange nothing for nothing
And watch the lights so closely
And you ask what hell is going on?
Speed it up
Lay it down
Dress your old lady up
A flightless golden gown
Children without mothers drown
And no one talks, they put it down
Speed it up
Lay it down
Everyone dance the “weeping clown”
Ignoring most of everything
Will make you drown
And death will follow
ISIS and Kim Jong Un
Trump might be our leader
Doesn’t that scare anyone?
The princess has a new face
Floating in bubbles with grace
And a frog prince disappearing without a trace
Speed it up
Lay it down
Everyone buy what you cannot win
And dance with blessed grace
With your eyes closed
Dreaming of better days
Slow it down
Easy baby
Leave the dream
Communicate with what is unseen
And watch the sunrise
Watch it come
Watch it go
No need for no heroes
Not in this episode
Slow it down
Let the amytal do the talking
And while I wander in my mind
Lost in tendrils of smoke
Will I find the love I left behind
And sleep again inside night’s cloak
Slow it down.
Stop it now.
It can’t hear.
Speed it up.
