Lyrics
Rotary Park is safe after dark Neighbors off porches The playground is stark Wine stain'd a vacant old basketball court Dwellings surround a municipal fort Don’t mind the stories of triumphs and glories Rotary Park is the jam after dark Be Leave and decide Stay and be blind Easy to claim when you’ve places to find We nearly died Be that inside grinding the gears of all tides Rotary Park is at peace after dark Chief Pontiac stamped his name on the mark Mystery buried in flat dominos Twilight atuned to a creeping repose Don’t mind the lion hid dreaming of Zion Rotary Park is ablaze after dark Rotary Park is swell after dark coveting woes in bureaucracy throes Trials by pairings with blood on the psyche Victory airings not sponsored by Nike® Purple potato-faced comrade ascends Vultures encircle abandoned amends This morning I woke from a nightmare and fell out of bed and Lo! The ghost of a man ages thought to be dead A smile and a ribbon he wore with a dutiful pose A wink A prick from the thorn of that beautiful rose Rotary Park is aghast before dusk don’t mind the four savage young horsemen of musk
