Visionary Penumbra
The truth is wrong, dear visionary
No projection lasts
You've received that legendary
Confidence of class
What they love now will be forgotten
But not quite how you think
We'll slip into another war then
Rebuild right on the brink
A Honshu rebel and a Pachinko parlor girl
Late in the day, and deep in a snurl
Walked themselves over to the bar and grille
Met an alligator man with a daffodil lapel
He was tired of owing cash to everyone in town
She was tired of being told to just lay down
They scraped up the bread and pushed it ahead
And the alligator man gave a nod and said
For a fee like this, all you get is words
But the words are wise and should be heard
For with Waterford crystal and surreptitious smiles
They judge you by your guile
Or lack of guile
No projection lasts
You've received that legendary
Confidence of class
What they love now will be forgotten
But not quite how you think
We'll slip into another war then
Rebuild right on the brink
A Honshu rebel and a Pachinko parlor girl
Late in the day, and deep in a snurl
Walked themselves over to the bar and grille
Met an alligator man with a daffodil lapel
He was tired of owing cash to everyone in town
She was tired of being told to just lay down
They scraped up the bread and pushed it ahead
And the alligator man gave a nod and said
For a fee like this, all you get is words
But the words are wise and should be heard
For with Waterford crystal and surreptitious smiles
They judge you by your guile
Or lack of guile
