Iron Smiles

The highest sun The palest moon They make my day; my agenda And how the night will end Fear not, for we are ancient From the womb to the tomb We see the sun rise and set The moon bright each night The same for millions of years Infinite laughter, sorrow and tears Will you come down From the mountain side She comes down With an iron smile Pay for prayer Cash gets you in Live a little more And pay for sin The soft fresh morning The warmth of the sun Today's activities have been set Mindful and rueful rules Fear not, for we have lived this before The cradle to the coffin From the ceiling to the floor Today is saddled in sorrow Day after day after day after day After may be filled with laughter The day after tomorrow
