Verse:

The beauty we found in the gutter

Trying to avoid the drunken hour

Of an old night is eternal in her stare

She wobbles like grace on holiday

Until death gives her the crutch of despair

She lost her brother to rampant traffic

Gave birth to a whole litter of troublemakers

And followed the hell that rang like bells at dawn

She knows the noise that silence avoids

Sings the song of felicity, and sleeps like an angel

With her wings pulled off

Chorus:

Rascal is immortal

She was & will be

If you’ve known her, you know her

If you’ve loved her, you love her

Verse:

I’ve seen her walk through a room

With all eyes on her, swinging her thing

I’ve heard her sing for her supper

Patient as a saint, sad-eyes toward nothing

While everyone laughs at a joke

No one remembers

Chorus:

Rascal knows more than anyone of us can describe

She’s been in the midst of delusion & sacrifice

Lived w/out & w/in, and known just what to say

Verse:

Rascal, sleep well

Let the dreams chase you

Into peace

Rascal, sleep well

Let the dreams chase you

Into peace

Into peace

Into peace
