Days Of Wonder

Cherry picking through the stars
And falling cannonballs
Waiting for the break of dawn
To start its morning crawl

Polluted rays of filtered light
Tropical and warm
Making shadows through the snow white
Resin covered skulls

Happy birthday to the war

Standing by the wall
A rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc

Days of wonder spent
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there

Caravanning on the moonlit
Locust covered trail
We came out like a stream of bats
Exploding from the well

Slipping through the whirlpools
Of trees and floating cars
Behind the winter coated mule
Down the record breaking falls

Into oblivion's open jaws

Standing by the wall
A rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc

Days of wonder spent
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there

Happy birthday to the war

Days of wonder spent
By a rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of gray
Spreading out across the arc

Standing by the wall
Out there killing time
This may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there

Educated under God
To walk a neutral line
Now give me neither poverty
Nor riches in my time

Now take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
With one dozen poems in my ears
Ricocheting wild
(Days of wonder)

(Days of wonder)
Take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
(Days of wonder)
My heart is far behind
(Days of wonder)

Days of wonder
