Back Beat Transcended

Don't look back

In this theater of modernist art

And wish what was

Worth being hung

Worthy off the space on
wall and hanging holes
it was hung

Patronage in thrones have
spent well earned coin to see

In order to say they have

Been kneeling before like the
grace of ages 

Was and is till this day 

The artist is remembered for

Yet never wishes they we're

Because it was a throwaway

A B-Side track 

Never expected to attract

But somehow did
