Mixin' up da metaphors

lyrics

A ladder quietly reaches
over silver heads,
and dancing up with practiced glee
a quiet wedding treads
leaving footprints in the dust
with every careful step
towards a distant castle in the sand.

How rich might be the colors in the place where they lay down
and rifle through the gold doubloons they can never seem to count?
Now rising up on tippy-toe, not seen among the crowd
the marriage of an albatross goes down.

Someone hit the dimmer switch,
most everyone's gone home
but still off in the distance
our betrothed lovers dance alone.
First impressions sift away,
now no one cares or knows.
They chatter in the margins
of their homes.

But how rich might be the colors in the place where they lay down
and rifle through the gold doubloons they can never seem to count?
Now rising up on tippy-toe, not seen among the crowd
the marriage of an albatross goes down.

Carlton Heston Atlanta, Georgia

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
