VANISHING ACT

diamonds on the shelf
mirror, no one else
better grab it now
before it's over, so over
ghost up on the wall
bound to take it all
and fall below the bottom
low down, so low down

and it takes no time at all
just to say hello and scatter down the hall
sometimes i think it's just a ghost
but still i'd crawl
just to say hello

crippled in the wind
from there to back again
nothing else can ease the sting
of winning when it's over, so over
the patsy of the day
just looks the other way
and mumbles when the walls
are falling down

and it takes no time at all
just to close your eyes and drive into the wall
sometimes i think it's just a ghost
but still i'd crawl
just to say hello

a fool in every hand
from here to newfoundland
and every step between is one
i want to do over, do over
tear out all the walls
replace with waterfalls
and watch it all divide
into a blowout, so blown out

and it takes no time at all
just to sing the blues and kiss the canonball
sometimes i think it's just a ghost
but still i'd crawl
just to say hello

-1/3/19
