Between the Skyscrapers

yellow sunday


ain't gonna grill nobody, break it home in your early hour

livin' in the peace of the wilderness

steppin' on the stones of sacred trust

ran the fruit truck through a fence again ma

he doesn't care he's drunk again pa

how can ya get drunk so many times in one day?

racoon
high noon
hat cocked
flat rock
flithy road
latent power
evelyn bed
conquered star
are, who are you
who you are
you are
air
are
star
stair
stare
stack smack
luck duck
pic tic
pot luck

Oh, is the fire on the kettle?
I feel so bad for you

Have the children gone to bed?
Let's talk about things they won't understand

What's witty and weary?

What's golden and free?

What good for you,
and what's good for me?

That once in a while
we should all be
as lonely as we can be

I call it yellow Sunday
yellow as in mellow
Sunday as in fun day
and I could explain it quite easily,
I could
