The numbers have grown tremendously That I could host a tea party But none of you were tea drinkers anyway Looks like martinis today Straight up and extra dry Hey Daddy, here's mud in your eye Here's to all the dearly departed And finishing up what you started Just as a rocket splits apart a life Barely a chance to make a start in light If I don't answer when you call I'm not ignoring you at all Just trying to make sense of the senseless Left here with these chumps And their fences And when I forget my head Recall the funny things you said And the way it felt to be near you No matter which way the wind blew Just as a rocket splits apart the night Barely a chance to make a start in light All of you warned me This world could be bought and sold So many people Busy doing what they're told But the right stuff Ain't the right stuff It's just old And I think of you When the cold wind blows I tip my hat A nod A Cheshire cat I got no answers but I hear you I just got to continue Got to continue What else can I do
