The Talk of the Town

Sticks and stones may break your bones

Than be the talk of the town

Frankenstein's Tea Party Is the Talk of the Town

It's Fall, and the night starts to creep up with stealthy footsteps.

Lighting volleys down as thunder calls.
Leaves have all curl and tall trees have swell from fear. 

Frankenstein's tea party is the talk of the town. 

The house and garden have been decked with string-out bulbs

Talk of the Town

Luther Vandross recorded a song
that says something like
"We had the best love around...

New York, New York.
When you're passing through, 
you get a scenic veiw.
Of the Statue Of Liberty.

A trip through Long Island.
Hudson Bay along the way.
New York, New York.
If you say this twice.
It's twice as nice.
New York, New York..

New

The Talk of the Town

We keep to ourselves amidst a fight within

We dream of dating Billy Joel's daughter then wake up alone again
In silence we erect portals to honor the dead;
Shattered fragments making mutations out of store bought bread,
As Poe did having felt a funeral in his brain they complain;

The Talk Of The Town...

In Summer we make our amends
