Bennie Lost The Tail
Bennie lost the tail that had followed him down
Oh ever since the grail in some attic got found
He said “I gave up on where I will be comin’ from long ago
Cuz the nights on this windowsill they make me feel at home”
But then he
Stuck that baggage back in his chest
Feelin’ he might bore us at best
‘Ware that we were stuck in a time
Either way ahead or behind
Of our prime
When he tossed the mail ‘bout them prospects overboard
Some body came to yell “shame on you, says the lord”
He would sigh “you clearly made your choice between freedom, wealth and youth
But be mild in preaching to these boys for we all pick pairs in truth”
But then he
Stuck that baggage back in his chest
Feelin’ he might bore us at best
‘Ware that we were stuck in a time
Either way ahead or behind
Of our prime
“Is there any way to know if its this day or eighty-nine?”
She queried once the show and it’s leather lay behind
“Let me try to put it this way babe, there are those who idolize
What they find to be their golden age until a new one dies”
But then he
Stuck that baggage back in his chest
Feelin’ he might bore us at best
‘Ware that we were stuck in a time
Either way ahead or behind
Of our prime
“Many join the side of publicizing reprimand
‘Why isn’t our ride as profound and significant?’
While providing substance of their own is hardly now a hand they lend
No the tribe to me is yet unknown that’s why I do comb this land”
But then he
Stuck that baggage back in his chest
Feelin’ he might bore us at best
‘Ware that we were stuck in a time
Either way ahead or behind
Of our prime
