Waiting for the lozenge to clear yer throat   So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote   All along the fences, all along the lines   Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'   Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry 2X      Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs   Everything yer hating is everything you been   So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell   How dry I once was there ain't no tongue can tell   Ain't no tongue can tell and the rain it fell 2X      Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose   Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose   All along the fences, all along the lines   Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'   Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry 2X
