70's Anyone?
Crystal dew like sugar water
rock candy brewing in a pot on the counter
Tom Jones scratching up the record player
bell bottoms sweep the floor
Carpet shagged to snag the cat
Mud green curtains are where it's at
Mustard yellow scarf, psychedelic hat
brass "welcome" sign on the door
Parakeets jumming and jirping away
while "The Gong Show" laughs at the act of the day
Piano stiff waiting for my mother to play
slipping me into night's dreams
Cadillac resting it's tons 'till we drive
Photos in polaroids coming alive
Family love thick 'till the day I turned five
and the world burst apart at the seams...
