Brian Brooks - Everything Takes Forever
lyrics
He who calls the piper
Has to play the tune
When beggars can be choosers
On the darker side of noon
And he who rules the joker
Has to pay the fool
Duelling with demons
And gamboling with ghouls

Man overboard in stormy weather
And everything takes forever

Sailing over oceans
Cruising overseas
Daring adventures
On the high wire trapeze
Veering to the portside
Sliding from the deck
Billowed from the north side
A transatlantic wreck

Man overboard in stormy weather
And everything takes forever

Flotsam and jetsam
Washed up on the shore
A bruised and beaten specimen
Of ocean-going lore
Stranded on a coastline
Far from shipping lane
Lost in all direction
Of any searching plane

Man overboard in stormy weather
And everything takes forever
