about

From the album "The Heart Is a Muscle" (ME142)

lyrics

there is no static
line between autonomous
and autocratic

it’s quite a surprise
when constant maintenance yields
a sudden demise

he’d been cursed
to war with neighbors
over who’d been there first

they could hardly care
in a few years, they’d move on
he’d still be there

living austerely
protecting his assets
but holding nothing dearly

but his own labor
not bothering to make friends
with more than one neighbor

for 35 years, he had a rough time of it
now he got the payoff,
but won’t enjoy a dime of it
