Cherry picking through the stars
And falling cannonballs
Waiting for the break of dawn
To start its morning crawl Polluted rays of filtered light
Tropical and warm
Making shadows through the snow white
Resin covered skulls Happy birthday to the war Standing by the wall
A rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc Days of wonder spent
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there Caravanning on the moonlit
Locust covered trail
We came out like a stream of bats
Exploding from the well Slipping through the whirlpools
Of trees and floating cars
Behind the winter coated mule
Down the record breaking falls Into oblivion's open jaws Standing by the wall
A rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc Days of wonder spent
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there Happy birthday to the war Days of wonder spent
By a rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc Standing by the wall
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there Educated under God
To walk a neutral line
Now give me neither poverty
Nor riches in my time Now take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
With one dozen poems in my ears
Ricocheting wild
(Days of wonder) (Days of wonder)
Take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
(Days of wonder)
My heart is far behind
(Days of wonder) Days of wonder
Days of wonder
