Shell Game |
| How many times in the lonely night |
| Someone you’d like to know passed you by |
| With heartfelt words a chance to speak |
| But two ladies down the street |
| Cast off that shell |
| Don’t resist the unknown |
| Your understandin' is open-handed |
| Hold it closed and you’re alone |
| Shame ourselves with petty games |
| Bill folds swells with tight remains |
| To find a road that leads someplace |
| When we fasten it everyday |
| Cast off that shell… |
| To stand naked for the sun |
| Well that’s the ends of everyone |
| To be old is to be free |
| To enclosed as a channel be |
| Cast off that shell… |
| So don’t you wait until you’re stranded |
| Ask somebody to throw a hand in |
| Just a ditty in ¾ patterns |
| Shackle games in high form matter |
| Cast off that shell… |
