For One Day Lyrics & Chords By Paul Chesne

FOR ONE DAY

Someday I'm going to rule this rooster
ask that guy with the feminine posture
is he a feline or an impostor
with a penchant for to harbor
~~
fugitive scapegoats
ancient love notes
warm down winter coats even though he lives on the coast
desert all year long in the middle of summer
with 3 different drummers you might think that's bummer
be he's on his own today
So you better make way.
~~~~~
How to describe this
I got arthritis
a wife 3 kids
what'd I do to deserve this all of these loved ones
maybe you only got none
~~
but the guy in the red and white shirt asked you for some
all you could give him was kick inthe shins
a bloody face cuz he jumped off the roof
but all I can say in his defense is that he made it through the day
and that's more than I can say for you.
He said I told him the truth.
~~~~~
Middle of the street
face down on the concrete
mission imcomplete
facin the facts
facin defeat
get up swingin
back on my feet
you might think that it's cool
~~
she says it's neat
ain't that sweet
askin your highness
what about the shyness of boredom and orders
gotta take a step back all I get for today is the cold shoulder.
That's all I get for today.
~~~~~
There's gold in them thar hills
safety orange pills
workin in the steel mills
22 dollar bills from Beverly Hills
really quite a deal
don't have to steal
it'll hold you over the grill
try not to spill,
cuz I just got the carpet cleaned yesterday.
~~
Straight oughtta Baghdad
he was a sad cat
tryin to make it
with the listening public
that didn't cut it
his mouth was the subject and he wouldn't shut it
even though I expressly asked him to do it
For One Day
Just for one day
