about

I like to say this is my only rap song. Tongue-in-cheek but it's more rhythmic than not, only one chord. Lyrically it's fragments that add up
to a multi-faceted glimpse of our civilization tied off with the witty observation that some people can talk and some can not.

lyrics

in a building some occasion some procedure some event
in another something other an unnerving silence kept
still another random tenant such disturbing sentiment
at the grocer from a jokester something lighter in intent
(once again without pause)

some people can talk some people can not

middle excursion:

I may not understand you can't even say your name
but the place where we are standing has arisen from the flames
resurrected from the ashes once re-born and once re-made
once in death and once in darkness now in commerce so engaged
building warehouses of folly business towers stab the sky
disenchanted yet addicted to the plastic ash tray lie
from the yacht in Boston Harbor to the Kennebunkport place
the obsequious servant pentagon vast waste

2.
in an orchard some occasion some procedure some event
in a wetland something other an unnerving silence kept
on a hilltop random tenant such a wary sentiment
at the shoreside at the high tide
some fish laughter some fish spent
(once again without pause)

some people can talk some people can not
