Babble On

The only ones worth dying for have been dead for years We live through dog ears in their memoirs and lap up all their tears In some eternal music hall, the club was wall to wall With serpents, angels, blades, and gauze, I searched it wall to wall But couldn't find the secret chords or the dreams that were deferred If heaven houses one and all it's crowded wall to wall to wall to wall Even New York City blushes if you look to close And she won't name her favorite tattoo but you think you know It's the graffiti in the stalls and panic wall to wall They blew the avenue apart and looted wall to wall But couldn't find the secret words or the dreams that were deferred If heaven houses one and all it's crowded wall to wall to wall to wall And I know I said I'm finished but I think I want it told My inner child is growing, growing old And that prize I tried to win you, always further down the road Was just another slick mirage, I should have known The only thing I want now is to disappear And live in dog years through their love songs until the static clears And we hear death eternal call and echo wall to wall Just let your hospital gown fall and love me wall to wall There is not one immortal word any place that I'd prefer If heaven houses one and all it's crowded wall to wall to wall to wall
