Not even fair

To box away those old faces

Not even close 

To the way it was then

When everyone would stay away

From you

And I don't remember how

Just the way the water fell down there

Could make you cry

Half these embers flew away

Into the dry brushes they were taken

By the fire

That sound drifting off outside

There's an unlight drizzle going on

That sound faucets off

Hang me out the window

No resolve

It's all away



For every piece of rice that falls

Another one falls in your shorts

Eliminate the stasis burden

If everyone was like Lou Rawls

Then no more guys would sing with drawls

Relax the guards alright

(When everyone would stay away from you)
