Green Leaf from Wild Children by Black Owls

They've got cadavers, exhumed for dissection
the green leaf curtain calls a prelude to fall
a potion set in motion, burgundy & brown
bluebloods & nooses & intellectual truces

Innocence is dying - sweet child emeritus
no more riding on the fence John Paul Jones
I fought the windmills and the dark hills of decency
I laced with poison all the plates of the thrones

You always wanted someone in your own image
and I laid that blanket out across your great lawn
the summer season spread you thin as a visage
it dried to dust and now August is gone

Innocence is dying - sweet child emeritus
no more riding on the fence John Paul Jones
I fought the windmills and the dark hills of decency
I laced with poison all the plates of the thrones

Take it in stride, but listen intently
Cicada swan songs call to nights growing long
brownstone graveyards of maple stained money
its what you paid for honey, but now it's time to go home.

Innocence is dying - sweet child emeritus
no more riding on the fence John Paul Jones
I fought the windmills and the dark hills of decency
I laced with poison all the plates of the thrones
