Wake up early, hustle up to breakfast: those were the grim days, taking out time. High profile (private education) heathen insider in an outside town. "A" students mingle with blue-collar workers--they couldn't do it if they tried. A stern line, certainly appealing; damaged agenda when it bores the crowd. Tough crusader, boy he gets results though! I'm refined, I get to liste them all. Oh so resilient, more fun than brilliant: sticking around until they kick you out! We find that all of our days are stacked up with the rest of 'em here. The stewards of sport, they need a lesson from the pit bosses they used to jeer. Though it unravels--oh it unravels!--to the core of the character kids. "Insofar as we're concerned, a knock-out punch is well deserved!" Mirror images blur: "All fall in line! Take what you earn, it all has a price! Right where you tread, full speed ahead!" with furious might (pardon my speech). We're waiting to leave, we're waiting to leave... She says she's tired. Well, we're all tired; kindly refrain. I'll draw you a map, we'll get there today. "You're not too late. Come inside! You're not too late. Cheer up, it's your lucky day."
It's your lucky day! I know exactly what it means to tightrope. She says she's here to stay. It's all talk talk talking, bitter observations--damn the dosage, let it fizzle out! The Drawback Difference: listen to the cadence, stumble stumble forward-- Gun-shy jokesters home from college, knavish in behavior, mind the manor for the glory hounds. Ready-made victors, law-abiding fighters tremor, tremor. "I'm not saying it's fine!"--it's just a job or a joint resolution, selling our house so we can leave this town. Around-the-world summer! Funny how we wonder if it's worth the risk of leaving tonight... Curveball craft, caught in a snag, working hard to put up a fight. Shutterbug vets in the powder room making a mess! But Janie's in the back cleaning up, making so much sense. ("Bobby?") "All fall in line! Take what you earn, it all has a price! Right where you tread, full speed ahead with furious might!" (Pardon my speech--we're waiting to leave.) We're waiting to leave, changing the tide. It's just what we're told: "Now go get it right!" Bargain: a plea (a throwback, it seems). Now quiet comply...
