Tony Is a Phony However Ted Ain'T Dead

IT AIN’T ALL THAT That’s all As the rain responds to a rose’s call That’s all Since the only way I can get to her is to knock down another wall And that’s all as far as I can see That’s all and I’ve had enough if someone cares to ask me That’s all I can suffer of platitudes from prudes And the way a lover changes her meandering moods That’s all so you can tell the parade to steadfastly fade away That’s all, I’ve had too much of the way lover’s stray That’s all I care to take the time to do That’s all for me but I cannot speak for you But hat’s all the clouds I ever wish to see That’s all the crap and cruelty hurled upon me That’s all I can take of liars who produce love so easily feigned That’s all I can take of that which illicit people do and why I am pained That’s all I’m going to take of living from the timberland to the south That’s all I will suffer a stomach finding sustenance only from hand to mouth That’s all I want to hear about Christ and His crucifixion That’s all I care to hear about Nazareth and all the other fiction That’s all I want of women who keep crystal secrets in a jewelry box That’s all I’ve had of having to find and break through iron locks That’s all I can take of people demanding that this man crawl And that’s all (C) 2011...... Phreepoetree ~free cee!~ because i'm that g*d damned talented, that's why!
