robert c. ford - intersection of nature and humanity كلمات أغنية

the old neighborhood
was diverse
the only thing we had in common
was proximity
but that was a blessing
after all, there can only be one lion
basking in the sunlight

“i’m much more
than some cognac swilling carnivore
in a brioni suit and alligator oxfords”
the apex predator roared

he was a braggart
who claimed he was a first cousin
twice removed from bert lahr
and threw outlandish c_cktail parties
on his yacht that was docked
he never learned to sail

big eye tuna made a fortune
trading salmon futures
then lost it all
in a celebrity death pool
betting keith richards
would be next to die
a sure thing
if ever there was one
this was back in 1989
the most flawed animal
by far though is man
he may drink from crystal
and defecate in porcelain
but give him $50 off
a big screen tv on black friday
or turn on monday night football
and behind a thin mask of civility
watch his primal instincts rage

as for me, i used to chase tail
in the sawdust of mcsorley’s
but never found perfection
now i’m just a subway rat
in search of discarded pizza crust

[chuck connelly homage]
the connelly was a mythical creature
known to rage at watering holes
but behind wings
flapping with testosterone
resided a tender bluebird
cradled in a nest
of painted canvas

- robert c ford
