Know Nothing Snowball
>
> I walk into Dunk And Dine
> to have breakfast
> and usher in the dawn.
> In the back booth with a cigarette
> I think of you
> and know there's something going on.
> You left me on the sidewalk
> looking up
> hearing laughter on the second floor.
> People say I'm stone crazy
> to be in love with you
> and get nothing more.
> See no evil,
> Speak no evil,
> Smell no evil,
> you're a Know Nothing Snowball.
>
> I remember last year in the hallway
> of the Courtyard Marriott.
> I was standing on the balconly
> as you rode by in your chariot.
> Staring in the mirror
> I know sometimes I look quite ancient.
But I cover up line or two
> and with some alchemy
> make it transcendant.
> Speak no evil,
> Stand for evil,
> See no evil,
> you're a Know Nothing Snowball.

> She blew him a kiss goodbye
> on a transatlantic video conference.
> As she smiled across several time zones
> His heart broke worldwide
> straight through the circumference.
>
> Lost in the Piggly Wiggly
> looking for a bag of cheese.
> Roger Whittaker crooning about the last farewell
> nostalgia nearly brings me
> to my knees.
> I think of you as a little girl here
> summer mudpies still smouldering
> Tarzan and the Green Berets
> John Brown in his grave moldering.
> Speak no evil,
> Stand for evil,
> See no evil,
> you're a Know Nothing Snowball.

> I'm back at the Dunk And Dine
