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 a winter coated mule down A 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 Standing by the wall 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 I'm educated under God To walk a neutral line Now give me neither poverty nor riches in my time 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) (Days of wonder)
