Easy color t.v.
As research labs the sum of
A case of accent for war
My contributions made up
And then the crowd showed up
Every evening with a coffee in their hand
To tame the fleeting of
And smell a rose about to fall apart
Breaker break in
Get a signal to the guard
Sell the yard its fenced in
My contributions made up
And then the crowd showed up
Smiled & started
Clapping on their hands
The cheered the beauty of
A standing man
A piece for everyone
And then the crowd showed up
Every evening with a coffee
In their hand
To tame the fleeting of
And smell a rose
About to fall apart
And then the crowd showed up
