Five Easy Pieces Revisited

Oh Rayette darling, forgive me All my life I have been dizzy Dizzy in sound, searching for silence Childhood doesn't live behind but inside us And take me back to when I could Play five easy pieces, beneath a Jesus And the family tree, was branching out towards me And mama was still alive And papa wasn't about to die So what Oh ray ray keep your mouth shut And oh Rayette I'd watch ya float Across the silver diner As your long thin legs Would carry scrambled eggs Mopping up vomit, singing sonnets for a kid who got sick And oh Rayette you had dreams to sing at the grand ole Opry And nobody can stop me, from stopping you for no good reason at all And if deaths coming for us all Then let death come before our fall And I'm gone like a song on a train I go from station to station until I pull into your brain You spun the dial a while baby Til you could hear me and the band playing Oh, I'm here, but I'm not staying I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
