an able-bodied boy
caught in the blinding brighteyed
forced perspective future accolades
hey baby blue
did they pick you out a winner
the swiftest of the litter
caught frozen and afraid
until all your standing still
stones your bones
withers your will
and greys your whiskers
you who who were quick on trigger
are you marking this down?
are you not too proud
to ask for help now?
you'll never write a new song
if you never write anything at all
hey baby blue
did you do a hard days work
when you set your jaw
and set your table
the case, the bag, and the bottle
and then got to the bottom
nobody gets a prize for that
it just greys your whiskers
how about you finish your dinner
are you marking this down?
better thank your host
and your lucky stars
at least you got this far
