vincent minor – drolls lyrics
and what you thought you knew
was suddenly reduced
the ground shifts beneath you
the road forks into two
your brain could blow a fuse
you’d be tomorrow’s news
the memory of you
could shake away these blues
a jester for a king
plays the tongue-in-cheek
hides a tear beneath
in a man of concrete
he’s balanced on a beam
eyes crossed at his feet
there’s soldiers at your home
they’re seizing wherewithal
a father tells a son
the secret place to crawl
a whisper then a scream
a duchy on the knees
grins with alarming dreams
in a guillotine machine
it’s the man of vanity
pleading mercy mercy
queens and drolls, wives and wolves,
there’s blood on off-white walls, sending in the
heart and head of anne boleyn
dividing up the dividends
casting stones at the sideshow
when bars close
the noses blow till a tko in comatose
the dollar grows
when the status quo can change it’s clothes
a lazy lord on a fainting couch
like a secret held in a big big mouth of teeth
that drifts and drawls, drifts and drawls…
