The sirens are back
 They’re aching in their lonely nights
     You saw the picture of the burning dock
 Now step away
    Step away
         Down a path of foolishness
 They tumble and tussle
 Barking for corn dogs and freedom
      Some of us hunker down
     And watch tv
And wonder what to eat next
     Lamb chops
 Tacos
   A bowl of cereal
       Then we drink whiskey
But not too much
 Just enough
To ease the pain
