The sons and daughters of city officials attend demonstrations,
It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well if the ticket sells"

You look down from your temple as people endeavor to make it a story,
And chisel a marble word but all is lost if it's never heard"

That tell me how my money's spent
To book? my stays and draw my blinds
So I can't see what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratulations"

"I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me
As strange as it seems I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast but I tied my boots to a broken mast"

Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste and salt to taste"

That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations"
