lyrics

all the flowers fade
and all the stars pale
as this bitter beauty
grabs you by the tail
how long will you hesitate
half way up the trail
yes it's dark in the trees
and some wounds never heal
but you're dreaming with eyes wide open
your
heart has spoken for the first time
all the gun for hire poets
who try to sing so loud
just to drown out the roar
as the bombs hit the ground
and the band is whistling Dixie
for its sentimental sake
that's the sound and the fury
of this new dark day
all the penny wishes
and the trickle down schemes
the Cracker Jack box prizes
splitting at the seams
you're standing in the doorway
with your hair all in a mess
you in all your glory
wondering what comes next
