Poor Boy

A truck parked this morning- outside the grocery store
Friends face the future- theyre wearing summer clothes
Great cosmic forces- like falling dominoes
I love talking funny- its the only song
I knowSweet smart and ***y- the day my life began
Burnt out and damaged-
I dragged my body home
This slice is runny- its dripping down my clothes
Flies stick to honey- its the only game they know
Poor Boy-I walk into the river in my hat and shoes
Poor Boy-Im sittin at the table with a knife and spoon
Life fast die happy- dont let your panties show
They trust market forces- its the only song they know
So come and rock my soul- where sin and sorry lie
White horses carry me- unto the other side
Poor Boy-
Im livin in a country where my thoughts are cold
Poor Boy-
Im waitin for the harvest of the seeds
I sowA flower in the night- with thoughts of days gone by
Ive got to ring that bell- and
Ill be satisfied
Poor Boy-
Im wearin silver slippers and a long white gown
Poor boy-
I picture in my mind the day the walls come down
Poor Boy-
Im livin in a country where
Im never free
Poor Boy-
Im writing down the names of all the things
I see-
