40 to the box
(347)
last call before orders to vietnam
once it was all said and done i was left alone
cradles of civilizations and deep sorrow roots
until you knocked at the door and pulled me out of the second room closet
paving ways in wildernesses and wastelands
tune in next week
to cartoon smiles on the big broadway stage
no mind the flash of the deadly yellow
come burst through as a sign of oppression
breathe in the purple
living floral scent
all thats required is a modicum of courage
field of colour torn at the seams
40 to the box (ph 585 in 1955)
this chip is for you and no one else
