Stranger in Paradise
It seems like every road to paradise, dead-ends, and cul-de-sacs Yellow Brick Roads with pot-holes, hold the saddlebags Of dream-riders, royalty, and little-me-mama, scallywags Of whom decayed skeletons remain crucified to power lines. So little time has passed, I realize with a shiver I take my coffee with my thoughts, just as black, just as bitter Pause from mere habit for a moment to consider That I've made it through the desert like a king, like a winner. But the sun's sleeping shadow slips slowly down the lawn And so my mind wanders on as I forget to ponder on How we were promised a golden dawn, a road that stretches on, But damn it I'll be darned, if they ain't make good upon, Making every boulevard, look just like the post cards, The bourgeois charm of the Kalashnikov guard It's all fun and games till someone thinks too hard A stranger in paradise can't afford the cover charge
