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