Lyrics
Ossining
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.
Put my faith in the price of mud
And my lord shall match the pounds,
Ten thousand days and a night spelunking
Kill my years in the lightning round,
Confound it
Why not
Seek Ossining
These threes and foursomes
Abounded,
Why not
Seek Ossining
This time around?
No, not a maze, but like blazed-out inner star
Disclosed completely in a plain film canister
