lyrics

THE BIG SLIDE

marbellized giants at the head of the state
in a three-legged choir where they curse and debate
their time gets so precious when the hour is late
and they forget what it's like just to wait

lost in a puzzle, a mine, or a maze
the foundation shakes as they while away
petitions and second-hand passengers play
in the opera of all in the way

partial distractions along the canal
where the ground is as hard as the jaded royale
where the scent of decay dominates the locale
where the king has lost all rationale

fortunes, like failures, come varied and wide
like bad liquor, it spills from the lips who have lied
and all the pretenders, on the ledges beside
even they can't resist the big slide
