Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The (1)________ and daughters
Of city (2)__________________ (3)____________ demonstrations
It's hardly a (4)________ or swim
When all is well if the (5)____________ sells
Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You (6)________ down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's (7)__________ heard
But I've got (8)______________ to make reports
That (9)________ me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't tell what's (10)____________ there
And all I need's a (11)__________ big:
Congratulations
I'll keep (12)________ dreams
You pay (13)__________________ for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve (14)________ have you (15)____________ me
The (16)____________ may be (17)____________ fast
But I (18)________ my boots to a broken mast
The difference is clear
You throw it in (19)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You (20)__________ with a (21)____________ stock of all the waste
And (22)________ to taste
But damn my (23)________ and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt (24)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and (25)________ up:
