It's James Now |
Well, Double R.J. |
is older now, he stays up watching the night snow fall |
Black bound book on the table, dusty beside card tricks and games |
Yeah, one by one he cuts the names from the back of the daily news |
Laying side by side they make quite a company of men |
Yeah, and all the things they’ve done and not done, glaring under the scope |
Double R.J.'s mom, she called this morning, all is well back home |
?And how are you today, my son?, «Fine, ma, I’m fine» |
Seventeen pages set in place for a back line of memories |
Yeah, the new one’s fighting for space and concern |
Walter winks across the cue |
?My folks are goin' out today, I’ve got some weed, are you comin'?? |
And it’s twenty four years later, the movie lot’s still intact |
Tables buried under truck bones and machine shop tools |
Well, Walter hasn’t found his way from the park yet to page eighteen |
Oh, and all those girls, God, what were their names? |
Should’ve kept their pictures |
It’s starting to blur on Double R.J., they’re rolling into one |
Except for Elvin the snake and Indian George |
And the guy you couldn’t scare |
And then first kiss on the playground bought with sister’s stolen ring |
So the odd discomfort shawl, drapes it across his bony wings |
As the loss of honest vision seers, pioneers and double dares |
Set your clothes on fire if you ever breathed a word |
And Double R.J. |
falls backwards, he can see further away |
And Double R.J. |
falls backwards, he can see further and further away |
