Letter To My Uncles

from I May Rail and I May Whine by Dane Terry

/

lyrics

Lost on me is the largemouth bass
The musky and the noble pike
And lacking in proper husk is my hide
To ever ever ride a motorbike

But I know some people in the ballet
And I bet you they would sneak us in the back
We could reenact scenes in shadows on the screen
Of old episodes of MASH

Oh I'll bring a jar full of lightning bugs
And we'll let 'em all go in the dark
Pretend that they're camera flashes from the press
And we'll all be aging movie stars

I'll be Vivian Lee from Gone With The Wind
You can catch me when I faint from the applause
Then we'll go out for malts, you can drink two at once
From those helmets with the straws

And even on those long, long truck rides
You guys won't mention the fact
That I suck dick and can't drive stick

Oh lost on me is the largemouth bass
The musky and the noble pike
Dear brothers of my Dad oh the fun we could have
But in the end you like what you like
So I guess I'll just sit in the back of the boat
Singing songs from Cabaret
And when there's nowhere left to put 'em
We'll go home and I'll cook 'em

In a truffle bearnaise!
