ST. ALOYSUIS
Four and forty years since the tide receded
Paradise parking metered
A saxophone is playing
"Very Superstitious"
Devils in the back seat
With St. Aloysuis

Black lipstick and a pretty white coat
Hard to love you baby with your hands around my throat
The everpresent tick
Of binary switches
I'm standing at the borderline
With St. Aloysuis

Icebergs, wrong turns, counting quarters
Validation combinations made to order
Tramps and dreamers navigate
Lazy down the ditches
Seeking sanctuary
With St. Aloysius

Jumping Juba/angel choir
Braved the sun, tangled in the wire
Gypsy daughter gathers
Diamonds from the rust
Waiting for the ghost
Of St. Aloysuis

Homesick sailor on the wrong side of the stage
A solemn pitch of crows is circling the cage
Slow this big train down
The tracks have turned to dust
Send your prayers and consolations
To St. Aloysius
