Tableaux

from Cowboy Chords by Joplin Rice

lyrics

hey don't be a stick in the tableaux
don't lose your motion as you grow
you're a misprint of a best friend
now i've got a question for your kin
did they know since the beginning
that you were gonna end up different?

tip with cash
someone's always after your piece
it's better to ask than to act a fool

time is just a candy on a line
but there's a surface flat & wide
unaware of its dimensions
i've got this habit of decline
if i knew i'd tell you why
instead of cringing at its mention

make amends
someone's always sending regards
it's better to ask than to fake zen

hey don't make that burden all your own
i'll lend a shoulder to your load
yes i will lift for my princess
sink into the scene that you've devised
cause love is nothing if not blind
passionate & senseless
