[Verse 1] The lawnmower he pushes Runs on alcohol Will daddy trim the bushes or Will the old man fall Momma's in the kitchen Singing kingdom songs Doing all the bitching But there's really nothing wrong I'm watching all the madness Feeling all the grief Like a moth I'm filled with sadness Cause the moon just can't be reached [Chorus] It ain't much to look at This old tarnished dream But it runs on stars and rainbows Sunsets and moonbeams And I've been waiting all my life For some poetry Like I got from you Last Tuesdee [Chorus] It ain't much to look at This old tarnished dream It's kind of rough around the edges But the center's filled with cream And I've been waiting all my life For some poetry Like I got from you Last Tuesdee [Verse 3] Sunday morning sermon Will it ever be done Daddy smells like bourbon So he never comes Turned to Revelations It's the Isle of Patmos blues The whole damn congregation Sings the Armageddon news Dunk me in the water The dove never came Standing at the altar Scrambling my brains [Bridge] It's a sociological misconception Born to ivyed walls That a psychological contradiction Has no spiritual call [Chorus] It ain't much to look at This old tarnished dream But I'll share it with you If you'll share your ice cream Cause I've been waiting all my life For some poetry Like I got from you Last Tuesdee [Outro] I've been waiting all my life For a dinner opportunity Like I got from you Last Tuesdee
