The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Burn and shine, son And keep your spirit clean For this is not a dress rehearsal Junior phoenix With your ash-filled eyes Who will harbor your misfortune Your mother says your father says He does not want to tell you (As if he didn't know you) Behind the lighthouse There's still the hole you made Better fill it in or it will get you So talcum powder Is now your closest friend Smooth and white and ordinary Your father says your mother says She does not want to tell you (As if she didn't know you) (And in the dream everyone is holding hands In a circle and you heal...) Do you remember The taste of pemmican? Then say hello to Hiawatha She's still frowning At your puffy face Overweight and barely breathing? No one ever said a word They did not want to tell you As if they didn't know you As if they didn't know you As if they didn't know you Burn and shine You burn and shine
