The trench went on for miles with no smile.
All he could...

I'm up to my eyeballs in tawdry disguises - 
let women wear auras or no clothes at all!
Let men naked roam too! Dark skin, white, sans tattoo,
and the light of day see just what's bought...

And puppy love awakened my sleeping heart
Tried to impress with exaggerated tales
Mark the box letters sent through the mail

From far and wide.
To see the
Big Island Rattlers
Verses
The Desert Snears

Across sport negotiations
Stuff to say in conversation
Nothing's ever been like
This before.
