Dave Bidini

I was like you - a dot, a figure or a point on a star

I could be king, a knight, a fraggle or a Johnny Guitar

Cast in the mirrored light, ten stories high

The serpent lays below the light

Don't look down

I had a Mom, a Dad, a sister in the back of the car

Frightened by every living creature

'till she cut through the dark

Saw her reflection in the screaming ice

Fell in love not even twice -

Or three times

Love struck quick. Was like a razor's flick

Hand to eyes to mouth

The Angels cried when they sent you south

But you will - you will - you will be happy

In spite of the shit and the pain of it

A little dream of flags on an inky ship

You will ride five colored horses

Open sesame. Open your lips

Oh, I will...

Everything big - so full of nothing

That I just didn't need

Licking you like

An all day sucker game of Mumbletypeg

You are the little thing that I understand

Like playing in this Rock and Roll band

We roll along

Something grew between the black and blue

Heart to fill a house

A love so true, now there is no doubt that you will

You will - you will be happy

In spite of the shit and the pain of IT

A little dream of flags on an inky ship

In a land of mock believe

Open sesame, steady your knees

Oh, I will...

Your love is a flower I pluck from your hair

We park by the water; our bodies laid bare

The right of the wrong. The sound of the song

You will - you will be happy

Despite of the shit and the pain of IT

A little dream of flags on an inky ship

But you will ride five colored horses

Open sesame. Steady your knees

Oh, I will...
