For The Turnstiles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the sailors with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore
Singing songs for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars at the door
You can really learn a lot that way
It can change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence may be shattered
It doesn’t matter
All the great explorers
Are now in granite laid
Under white sheets for the great unveiling
At the big parade
You can really learn a lot that way
It can change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence may be shattered
It doesn’t matter
All the bush league batters
They come to die on the diamond
In the stands the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles
