Gospel of Dismay

You see the magic of art,

It would tear you apart if you knew!

Ain't it nice to be underground

With a good ol' friend like me (a friend like me, yeah)

So you notice that sign, we ain't lying

But sit down and take a seat (take a seat)

There's an exit for sure

But that's for shmucks

But a little bit of ink

And a couple of bucks

We can reopen the curtains

And show off the strut

But for goodness sake

You gotta just believe!

We've been stars since the rhythm days,

But our instruments have all grown tired.

And in the end our only dream was to dance,

They took the dance away and we got retired.
