cut and paste   were you sitting down   on the beaded impotence of new orleans   a hint of suspense when that telephone rings   this is forever      it paved a wave of distance   between the syntax error   from austin's yellow brick road   this is forever      from this texas breath exhaled   no sign of relief   this you know, this you know   this is forever      march 23rd hushed the wind, the music died   if you can't get the best of us now   it's because this is forever      makes no difference    our alphabet is missing letters   seventeen, embalmed and caskets   lowered into the weather   a drizzle, brisk and profound      from this texas breath exhaled   no sign of relief   this is forever      strum this broken harp   we were struck by the chords   set from their hearts   this is forever
