Lyrics

LESS ELEGANT

What shrouds of time float through my mind
What aimless wandering
What sense of past refuse to fade
What future does it bring?
Who's kiss of death for love of hope
Sleeps on my windowsill
Dredging up those mortal sins
All wrapped in whippoorwills

C
I CAN SENSE THE PAST NIPPING FUTURE'S PRIDE
THOUGHT DORMANT ALL THESE YEARS BUT NOW STILL FOUND ALIVE
THE AIR'S SWEET BREATH NOW TURNED AFOUL A SKUNKING NASAL SCENT
SO I WANDER DAY AND NIGHT THROUGH DREAMS LESS ELEGANT

What of this maid who flaunts her wares
Demanding all to watch
Thinking her great mystery
Lies beyond her crotch
And as she dips her universe
Beyond the great divide
A sudden thrill gives rise to run
Beyond those she can hide

C
I CAN SENSE THE PAST NIPPING FUTURE'S PRIDE
THOUGHT DORMANT ALL THESE YEARS BUT NOW STILL FOUND ALIVE
THE AIR'S SWEET BREATH NOW TURNED AFOUL A SKUNKING NASAL SCENT
SO I WANDER DAY AND NIGHT THROUGH DREAMS LESS ELEGANT

B
Some days quite lost with wrack of fear
Some nights beyond the pale
Dredging up those mortal sins
All wrapped in whippoorwills

C
I CAN SENSE THE PAST NIPPING FUTURE'S PRIDE
THOUGHT DORMANT ALL THESE YEARS BUT NOW STILL FOUND ALIVE
THE AIR'S SWEET BREATH NOW TURNED AFOUL A SKUNKING NASAL SCENT
SO I WANDER DAY AND NIGHT THROUGH DREAMS LESS ELEGANT
