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
