It's a magic time when I sit at my computer and the words come.
This started with Luther King, and went from there.
You'll find little that makes any sense in the verses, with one amusing exception; "if you close your eyes you can see".
Lyrics
Luther King and
Merlins ring
all it means
is we learn to stand alone
I want
three cheers for the
downtown girls
the most important
in the world
You see
fathers sons and
holy smokes
loulous shopping for
cowboy pokes
they got
pointy toes and
alligator
lifted lorax and
Schwarzenegger
I want
three cheers for the
downtown weather
worlds apart
from my life as a feather
if you close your eyes well you can see
if you close your eyes well you can see
they got
colors flowing from the
nineteenth floor
as daddy walks me
to my door
And I don?t really understand
I don?t really understand
what I?m trying to say
I got my
hands on my heart and
I don?t mean to intrude
it?s just those uptown sisters
they put me in the mood
give three cheers for the
civic pride
feel ?em as they
pass softly by
shooting glances
and ripped off lines
little by little
it?s just their broken lives
that?s why
when they come by
I just swing the door
Wide
I want
three cheers for the
downtown girls
the most important
in the world
You see
fathers sons and
holy smokes
loulou?s shopping for
cowboy pokes
They got
pointy toes and
alligator
lifted lorax and
Schwarzenegger
I want
three cheers for the
downtown weather
worlds apart
from my life as a feather
if you close your eyes well you can see
if you close your eyes you will see
