Shift rocking stumble knees sing sweet songs on the corner
Rusty acapella chains shackle hearts and the boys sing
Mama where’d you go to now so far away
Soft skin close Mama it’s so hard when you can’t see
Skipping stone ladies hopscotch blues bending string sounds
Wounded soul arias for millions and the boys sing
Papa’s all gone before curtain rise and back grown full
Son stands on corners lost and hungers gained
Powered thighs stride across fractured dreams
Words shuffle sweet sad peace and the boys sing
