Children are Listening

from Live at the Georgia Theatre by Don Chambers

/

lyrics

a black figure of a bird hiding in the doorway
escapes the mine through the butcher shop
a species of orchid blooms after the second midnight
the misspellings of angels

her existence was noted by the ambulance driver
remapped by the cartographers
in spite of his contributions
his femme fatal client Mary known as Christine
lies about directions

be care what you say
be careful what you do
children are listening

the fleece breaks the spell
the mask, the bow, the fat man
losing his wig discovers that its a fake
in the woods no one is alone
shes better known by her pseudonym
grows wings for an exodus

a thirty foot braid of hair
the ethereal earns the enigma
celebrating the harvest of threes
and unscrupulous adventures
during the transitional regime
just above sea level

be care what you say
be careful what you do
children are listening
they cannot hear your cry
they memorize
children are listening
they are forbidden
they are broken hearted
children are listening
