Missing Link



Cold air in the breeze;winter`s approaching
All the trees in hurry to shed their leaves
All Green gone to sleep-a display of
reddened colors fly in the wind,blinding my
eyes w/ red,yellow,pink,purple,ink
Cold air in the breeze;winter`s approaching
Reptiles plan to hibernate the cold,cruel
spree
Men and women melt and mix--
Arti,arti,arti you`ve blinded my eyes
With your love lights
All I can see now is You,you,you for miles
Everybody love roses;nobody knows her pain
Worms connive inside to make new bed
Once I met a girl named Connie in Coney
Island;she was as pretty as a centerfold in
PB/PH;she made me warm,she made me cosy
She made me forget my pain,wrapping me up
in her sweet torrents;men and women talk and
toil;talk Tolstoy,read romance
