Promenade

Earth, sky, sea, and rain
Is she coming back again?
Men of straw sneak a whore
Words that build or destroy
Dirt, dry, bone, sand, and stone

Barbed-wire fence cut me down
I’d like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground

And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the sky

In the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep…sidewalk
I see you stare…into space
Have I got closer now?
Behind the face

Oh…tell me…
Charity dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up though a spiral staircase
To the higher ground

Slide show, sea side town
Coca-cola football radio radio radio…
