Waiting for the lozenge to clear yer throat 
So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote 
All along the fences, all along the lines 
Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin' 
Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry 

Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs 
Everything yer hating is everything you been 
So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell 
How dry I once was there ain't no tung can tell 

Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose 
Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose 
All along the fences, all along the lines 
Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin' 
Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry
