A day of rest is hardly ever A day at rest's a callow sigh A day a rest is hardly ever Hardly ever sealed in time The follies raged at night Who's denied? The furst + feathers orchids shine on Passer's by Then a railway is laid And the horses are well fed There's a lust for a uniform And a grand parade The summer guns mark how they lost the Belle Époque The railway stays the one way sound of shots A gilded age is hardly ever Aware of where it's follies are A gilded age has hardly ever Not embraced it's tragic flaw The Children sleep safely at night Sweet pronounced The park is full The trees in bloom Bellies full and hearts alive The summer guns mark how they lost the Belle Époque The railway stays the one way sound of shots They dug a trench Then discovered how to fill it The bread goes bad Later than a spare bullet They dicovered, discovered how to fill it Faster than a spare bullet A palace untested decays A heart at rest is merdly fallow No, this heart is simply asking To be acquitted from the gallows The summer guns mark how they lost the Belle Époque The railway stays the one way sound of shots The summer guns mark how they lost the Belle Époque The railway stays the one way sound of shots.
