Inauguration Day
the sledgehammer sings hallelujah
blind men walk on tightropes
lay away plans are laid to rest
meet me in the casino tonight
let me see how you roll the dice
dogs of war sniff everything that tries to come down the line
the doctor has found a cure for something that never got sick
and love used to have an office here
but when i went in for my appointment
the carpets were all rolled up and nobody was home
the sledgehammer sings hallelujah
and the grownups have all gone home
or so their last know address says so
meet me in the kennels tonight
let me see if i can still roar
holy men hang upside down from the rafters
and the carnival barkers all have sore throats
the slegehammer sings hallelujah
write when you can
read between the lines
debutantes will take your coat
our table awaits
hope you got an appetite
