Bar Fight

danger is a bar fight that nobody wins
Love is a night light I forgot to plug in
would you still sing with me...
at long last
after so many years have past
fly only prayer flags up the captain’s mast
oh Love
oh life
oh day
oh night
oh wrong
oh right
I fell for you
prayed Love would carry us through
caught in a hurricane with you
hunker n' huddle
in a bunker tunnel
makin' melodies
next to a muddy puddle
I prayed the wind wouldn’t stop
til the second verse was locked
I heard the sirens - saw the horns
visions of Horus from before I was born
no-thing to prove son
no-one to impress
no-thing to invest
in the worst or the best
and when it all shakes out
I’ll be headin' down south
somewhere near panama about
exporting rum - importing fun
and when you next see me
I’ll be a tropical man
with a tropical tan
driving a Scooby-Doo van
solving mysteries
writing histories
it's hard to evict me
and there's no reason to convict me
not even on New Year's Eve
