Lay the stones down
Over my eyes
As dreams give way
To simpler times
To days of sunshine
Like grapes on the vine
To skies of diamond
Flowing like wine
Trouble me not
Muddy waters of thought
Let trees turn to forest
To peace that is sought
Deliver to me
The restful unwind
Still ticking hands
Of the keeper of time
Fix my gaze
It is wandering so
Through terrible storms
Of the thunderous show
Lift gently me now
From the trembling earth
Set me to flight
Among sailing birds
Simple life
Escapes me so
Flatten the hills
Lay smooth the snow
Run pristine waters
Through cavernous veins
From the chilling streams
Of mountain's range
Arching stone
Free of strain
Bereft of stress
In gentle rain
Perfect balance
Movement gone
Whispers will echo
Forgotten song
Three six nine
The goose drank wine
Now he's stumblin' all around
And feelin' real fine
Took a gander at the gander
And figured what to do
Before the farmer came around for his holiday stew
That crazy ol' goose
Began to dance around
And shook all his feathers
All over the ground
He took a step back
With a big ol' smile
His lily white feathers lay up in a pile!
Oh that crazy ol' goose
Is on the loose
His bare ass shakin'
Like a crooked caboose
He's hatchin' up a plan
To avoid the man
And keep himself out of that fryin' pan!
Now the goose is naked
And drunk as hell
With a taste for lovin'
One thing can quell
So he grabs a hen
Heads to the pigpen
She shakes off her feathers and they both hop in
The idiot brigade is on the loose
They broke into my house, stole the keys to the truth
The idiot brigade is on the loose
They took my wisdom, my guilt, and returned my youth
Tell me what you think I think I should do next
The idiot brigade is all that is left
They marched on the city, burned the village, the town
The idiot brigade, the only game in town
Don't fight it, don't struggle, don't call it a day
The idiot brigade never runs away
Stand fast against the tide, against the wind and the rain
The idiot brigade brings the love, brings the pain
Just sit there and smile and laugh at your trial
The idiot brigade will fill you with bile
Don't threaten the lawyers, your jury of peers
The idiot brigade knows nothing of fear
