The generals hate holidays
Others shoot up to
chase the sun blues away
Another store front church is open
Sea of neon lights
a boxer his shadow fights
Soldier tired and sailor broken
Winter's asleep at my window
Cold wind waits at my door
She asks me up to her place
But I won't be down anymore
Judges with metermaid hearts
Order super market justice starts
Frozen children inner city
Walkers in the paper rain
Waiting for those knights
that never came
The hi-jacked trying
so hard to be pretty
Night rains tap at my window
Winds of my thoughts passing by
She laughed
when I tried to tell her
Hello only ends in goodbye
America gains another pound
Only time will bring
some people around
Idols and flags are slowly melting
Another shower of rice
To pair it for some will suffice
The mouthful asks
for second helpings
Moonshine pours
through my window
The night puts
it's laughter away
Clouds that pierce the illusion
That tomorrow
would be as yesterday
