(The Heer's building was once a building of some importance and prominence in our town--it's the tallest, after all--but got kind of rundown and folks ran away. Now they're comin' back and fixin' it up, which is fine. One time we tried to steal some of the letters that had been on top of the building, only to find out they were a lot bigger than they looked when they were up there. This one goes out to Michael St. John. Keep reachin' for the sky!)
Tipsy with St. John he's got me feelin' like a kid on halloween
And he asks me what I wanna be. I got nothin to say
He says that's ok he says.
I don't either but I got my dreams and maybe some are
Apparitions in the fog. But still I see them
Down in my soul like little girls in bows held up on
Little boys' shoulders.
Do people, when they're older,
See distances on maps get smaller
And promises of happiness stall'd?
I wanna see you again.
Now she's drawin' circles in the air
The ground is movin' under me but to where?
Met Mz. Susie and she got an apple in the ball of her chin.
So I hugged her neck
And said I'm sorry for the way I been
She said aw that's ok.
Into my shoulder she said oh-oh-oh-oh
Now that i'm oh-oh-older
The distances on maps have got smaller
And promises of happiness stalled
!!
