My Uncle Max Metheny, who writes poetry for a living, picked this as his
It’s a question of keeping the ghosts out of view
Though it’s all just a game if the legend is true
You’re a Cain without Abel, a knight without dawn
But I know you’re a child, it’s a mask you put on
So I’m writing this letter to say nothing’s wrong
I’m forgetting the words to your mockingbird song
Though I know it’s a blessing, it still makes me stare
When you make implications dissolve in the air
In the streets of Los Angeles you hide away
Just a breath of revenge on a typical day
Like the song of the siren it strings me along
I’m a deer in the lights of your mockingbird song
It’s the same situation, just different eyes
You’ll end up with the best soul that money can buy
If you’re stuck in a rut you could light off a bomb
‘Cause you’ve come to the end of your mockingbird song
