bourbon drinks beer late nights
rednecks flail in bar fights
a small sky big view
this world at large so askew
penguins as people
cold distempered things

a short dream gone on too long
some writer tugs out another song
lost ships never find a shore
young ones learn what to die for

lonely eyes and empty skies
wonder what its all worth
lovers leaves loathing lies
open shoes leave tongues untied
leaves bad lovers with bad alibis
