Crew Nights |
Tear it down in double quick time |
To get the eighth truck shifted 'bout midnight |
The locker rooms are empty but the (Strobo Tickers?) (strobe boats?) |
still spin with their pitching lights |
And someone with a yellow pass |
Gives out precise directions as to where and when |
And here am I with a drumstick, |
While young girls set to rendezvous, and be recognized again |
Tomorrow is an off-day, |
Be in Baltimore by Thursday is the only law. |
There’s a suite down at the hotel |
Reserved for making merry with connecting doors. |
The lighting man’s already improvised a bar, |
And printed invitations to the ball. |
Off duty cops line corridors wearing Tull (two?) T-shirts proudly |
on the band’s (…) wall |
Crew nights, no flashlights or folding knives, |
Best boots and road suits and nine lives. |
Feeling that it might be wrong to |
Temporarily belong to the P.A. |
man (men?) |
Some angel from the midwest is regretting being |
Undressed with no suntan |
His polaroid is snapping |
The head carpenter is rapping on |
The gates of dawn |
Sitting lonely with a warm beer |
The girl with dental braces wishes that she hadn’t gone. |
Crew nights, no bar fights or (feeders?) (veeders?) wives |
Thin walls and late (blade?) calls and nine lives. |
Crew nights, no flashlights or folding knives, |
Best boots and road suits and nine lives. |
