lyrics
Wakin up, they missed the muck.
Stayin stuck inside, while the flood was raging.
Holding on to their favorite trinkets,
the hints of loves gone by like a raging river.
Water rising, the appetizers,
Shrimps and crawdads were crawling in the room.
Uninvited into the parlor,
Chillin on chaise lounge in funky hats.
Racing by candlelit moonlight,
By the third night, their favorite horse had died.
They tried to find a suitable replacement,
But the group was so familiar with their former favorite.
They rejected, over the slightest defect,
Never thinking bout the way things could have been.
Without hangups, the living's easy.
Someday, they may return to what they know.
Oh my how you've grown!
Life has shown you,
When it doesn't really matter anymore.
Something beautiful
Is just like a doodle;
It happens quickly, and it rarely leaves a mark.
