<pre>Rotary Park is safe after dark
Neighbors off porches, the playground is stark
Neighbors off porches
Wine stained a vacant old basketball court
The playground is stark
 
Wine stain'd a vacant old basketball court
Dwellings surround a municipal fort

Don’t mind the stories of triumphs and glories,
 
Don’t mind the stories of triumphs and glories
Rotary Park is the jam after dark
Rotary Park is the jam after dark


Believe and decide
Be
Leave and decide
Stay and be blind
Stay and be blind
Easy to claim when you’ve places to find
Easy to claim when you’ve places to find
We nearly died
We nearly died
Be that inside

Grinding the gears of all tides
grinding the gears of all tides


Rotary Park is at peace after dark
Rotary Park is at peace after dark
Chief Pontiac stamped his name on the mark
Chief Pontiac  
Mystery buried it flat on the nose
stamped his name on the mark
Twilight a tune to a creeping repose
 
Don’t mind the lion, he dreaming of Zion
Mystery buried in flat dominos
(Be, leave and decide, stay and be blind)
Twilight attuned to a creeping repose
(Easy to claim when you’ve places to find)
 
Don’t mind the lion  
hid dreaming of Zion
Rotary Park is ablaze after dark
Rotary Park is ablaze after dark


Rotary Park is swell after dark
Rotary Park is swell after dark
Coveting woes in bureaucracy throes
coveting woes  
Trials by pairings with blood on the siding
in bureaucracy throes
Victory errands not sponsored by Nike

Vultures encircle abandoned amends
Vultures encircle abandoned amends
(Grinding the gears of all tides)


This morning I woke from a nightmare and fell out of bed
This morning I woke  
And lo, the ghost of a man ages thought to be dead
from a nightmare and fell out of bed  
and Lo!
The ghost of a man ages thought to be dead
A smile and a ribbon he wore with a dutiful pose
A smile and a ribbon he wore with a dutiful pose
A wink, a prick from the thorn of that beautiful rose
A wink  
A prick from the thorn of that beautiful rose


Rotary Park is aghast before dusk
Rotary Park is aghast before dusk
Don’t mind the four savage young horsemen of musk
don’t mind the four savage
young horsemen of musk

Lyrics

Rotary Park is safe after dark
Neighbors off porches
The playground is stark

Wine stain'd a vacant old basketball court
Dwellings surround a municipal fort

Don’t mind the stories of triumphs and glories
Rotary Park is the jam after dark

Be
Leave and decide
Stay and be blind
Easy to claim when you’ve places to find
We nearly died
Be that inside
grinding the gears of all tides

Rotary Park is at peace after dark
Chief Pontiac 
stamped his name on the mark

Mystery buried in flat dominos
(Be, leave and decide, stay and be blind)
Twilight attuned to a creeping repose
(Easy to claim when you’ve places to find)

Don’t mind the lion 
hid dreaming of Zion
Rotary Park is ablaze after dark

Rotary Park is swell after dark
coveting woes 
in bureaucracy throes

Trials by pairings with blood on the psyche
(Be, leave and decide, stay and be blind)
Victory airings not sponsored by Nike®
(Easy to claim when you’ve places to find)
Purple potato-faced comrade ascends
(We nearly died, be that inside)
Vultures encircle abandoned amends
(Grinding the gears of all tides)

This morning I woke 
from a nightmare and fell out of bed 
and Lo!
The ghost of a man ages thought to be dead
A smile and a ribbon he wore with a dutiful pose
A wink 
A prick from the thorn of that beautiful rose

Rotary Park is aghast before dusk
don’t mind the four savage
young horsemen of musk
