"Ashes and Glasses"
What if all tomorrow brings us is Ashes and Glasses
And I can't tell you child, this too must pass
What if all we had were shades of grey
And in the end there's nothing left to say
{hum hum hum mumble} Left to say
Well anyway
Come on darling swing and sway
Daddy gonna find us a better way
And if that better way don't float
Daddy gonna find us a tiny boat
And if that tiny boat don't sail
Grab a bucket baby and start to bail
And if that bucket spring a leak
Child, we'll be up a creek
Up a creek
What if fire came (raining?) on the hills
The mountains made out of musty (???? sounds like he say crewdills but...)
All the lovers find themselves alone
And all the poets took to throwing stones
Come on Now
Come on darling, time to sing
{hum hum} (grab?) that old brass ring (First part probably "Daddy gonna"?)
And if that old brass ring dont fit
Well daddy going to get to fixing it
And if that old brass ring stays broke
Daddy's going to buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat don't (???) (Should rhyme with "start")
Gonna give that goat the old kick start
Old kick start
{Jam}
What if all that's left was ashes and glass
Well it sure seems headed this way fast
If those four horsemen can't be turned away
And everyone's too paralyzed to pray
Too paralyzed to pray
Too paralyzed to pray
Too paralyzed to pray
Come on baby we can fly
Daddy's got himself an alibi
Alibi's shot full of holes
Come on child let's rock and roll
And if that hole takes us to France
We'll teach them French just how to dance
We'll keep on dancing,singing a tune
We'll be dancing all around the room
And if that big old (moon?) goes bust
Well ashes to ashes babe, and dust to dust
Maybe it's time for one last rain
We'll keep dancing our own way, yeah
Out own way
Keep on Dancing
Keep on dancing our own way
Keep on dancing our own way
