Butter Side Down

Put the clocks back an hour or two. live in the dark swallow don't chew.
Bite the bullet with Soup of the day while sat on the stage singing My Way. Live underground on cold stony ground, live underground butter side down.
Pour me water cast me a drift. Write me a card or send me a gift.

Life isn't living when its scary at heart. leaving together or staying apart.
Take the diversion wear yellow not blue. Dream of a ticket while back of the queue
Grill the City, Toast the Town. Count to three when Butter side down

Butter side down Butter side down
Kills the reason now your not around
Butter side down We drop to the floor
Butter side down Row back to the Shore

Got my kicks in a fools hall of fame String driven thing never been the same
Cherry red Guitars on a Cosmic Slide. The price of love lived till he died.
June or July take a ride at the fair. Butter side down see if I care.

Music for pleasure Money for rope. Ate the cake but never the dope
Survivor was I  Traveller were You. Long grey coat astride a Bowling Shoe.
Long walk hero's far from home. Worn out tyres in a fall out zone.

Butter side Down Butter Side Down
Killed your Mother and freed the Clown
Butter Side Down Butter Side Down
Dressed to the nines In your wedding Gown

Summer times gone.Fresh air at Best Winter aint easy. Cold isn't my Guest
Wasn't so long ago I drank from your cup. Those were the days of Butter Side Up.
Must remember to shut the door when I leave. Tangled tales are what we weave.
Could there be time to retake the test. blue skies and green  no more no less.
link arms and dance. Pause then Romance  Ride the wave upon a silver cloud. Sing it up or say it out loud.
Never ask for an inch or take a mile Never say Kiss me Just savor Her smile.

Butter side down on an empty train
Butter side down crying in vain
Butter side down twisted and torn
Butter side down No roses just thorn
Butter side down given one last chance
Butter side up begins a new perchance...……...To dream.
