Poem
So Malcolm has been flirting, like a player with next to no faith he gets wet when it is raining, wi' no protection in a tight space keeping tags on what's been borrowed, will only add to your heavy heart of sorrow tread lightly now, as you go down, down the straight and narrow Watch the drama from your window, from the frames n' dusty shades hold your verdict 'cause you'll never know, all we've got are faces and names he'll compromise his good conscience, skin so thick, slick n' tough, like leather it's getting ever so much harder since he's been old enough to know better the way he came is the way he'll surely go Off the cuff don't sweat the smaller stuff, between passion and common sense you will know when he's had enough, Malcolm lights up in self defense fascinates skin-tone to marrow, quicksilver-fast-talk cheap impossible to follow do listen though, it's a beautiful sound and mighty like the sparrow the way he came is the way he's sure to go down the straight and narrow You wouldn't last a minute, not in my world, baby you might take some pride from that you've been in it an' getting nowhere lately there's a bee-hive under your hat it's never easy to leave the hometown, n'them wanton brothers of questionable virtue the one thing you now know is how sweetness will surely hurt you tread lightly now, as you go down down the straight and narrow
