emergency exit

14 miles away from a landfill grave, never pawned my watch and chain, to the landlord living inside my head, never paid my rent till the lights went dead, then i saw my sign comin up the road, a dead ditch waiting for to bury my load, on the avenues in the plain of day, i threw a roosevelt dime in a bucket of rain, now hold your hand onto the plow, work your body till the sun goes down, what's left of death is more than fear, let dust be dust and the good lord near, it's a little too much to ask of faith, it's a little late to wait for fate, so tell the angels what you seen, scarecrow shadow on a nazarene, kindness will find you, when darkness has fallen, round your bed, kindness will follow, children will wander, till, the end
