Time for a change of clothes, I think
Pass her a jersey, new
Fight the urge to throw a glance
O'er shoulder's onto you
This dream has chance to pass the river,
Become one we can pursue
Heat lands hard on Hades now, love
You've done all that you can do
One is writ before the day begins
Other conjured after strange lad sings
Line by line and play by play
I'll keep your night with me today
Oh, your pearls are permanent, don't fret
The best ones yet to be discovered
Don't think twice on pain, regret
Or giving it up like all the others
The Sting is worth it, trust me now
The muses step to meet their maker
At midnight, take the Piper's vow
Feel your fingers turn to nacre
Won't you make a poor boy smile
And rest his pen a little while
God, his pen's been so beguiled
Line by line and play by play
I'll give your writing right of way
One is writ before the day begins
Other conjured after strange lad sings
Line by line and play by play
I'll keep your night with me today
No
