Charley Horse

There are sinners and saints
This life can be cruel
Are you something you ain’t
Or have I been fooled
You can mix up the paint
Til the colors are cool
When they empty the lake
Will they find all your proposals?

Ideas are like snowflakes
Each one’s unique
Like every childhood mistake
And a visit to the clinic
Another drink can be great
For recovering alcoholics
A talented baker
Covers it up with chocolate

A love song means the same
To the famed and the broken
And a Heimlich maneuver saves
A child who is choking
Freedom for a slave
Tends to overwhelm
If Charleston’s has changed
Someone forgot to tell them

Can you give up the ghost?
Laugh til it hurts
You are better than most
It could always be worse

She always delivers
Every time she flirts
Another broken mirror
That came with a curse


Now say of course of course of course
Could have been a Billy Goat
You could always be limping
On your very own
