240105: Long Walk Off A Short Plank

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Educated in a chain gang
Sweatin' bullets 'til the phone rang
Cut the mustard with a dull shank
Long walk off a short plank

Tiny ego on big man
Little people got some big plans
Treading water in the quicksand
Long walk off a short plank

Skinny dipping in the shark tank
Drinking everything the shark drank
All started when the ship sank
Long walk off a short plank

Paparazzi at the big bang
Caught the devil with a red hand
Taking pictures as world shrank
Long walk off a short plank

Talking smoother than ex-lax
Living higher than the hog hangs
Big investor in the blood bank
Long walk off a short plank

Milk and honey and some grape jam
Watch the fire dance a strange dance
An ugly story but a great prank
Long walk off a short plank
