The Q-Tip Bandits
Dan D Lion
Hurdle a turnstile
Smile in the face of the law
And under the bleachers
His sneakers carry the love
He smuggled a liter
The teachers broadcast his flaws
Then he’ll garnish his lungs for the fun
To leave their faces in awe
And that’s the same kid
Who shed a tear and wet the bed
With a pocket full of promises
And prayers in his head
That’s the same kid
Who shrunk away in the dark
Skipping stones ‘cross the lake by the park
Watch him falling slowly
Like red and yellow hearts
Dandelion
Dan D Lion
Dandelion
Dandelion
He hears it come near him
The spirits they snap in a roar
They sent him the venom
His denim been stained by their claws
Now they’re firing sirens
His vitals they drop to a crawl
His lover and mother were summoned
To answer the call
About the same kid
Who shed a tear and wet the bed
With a pocket full of promises
And prayers in his head
About the same kid
Who shrunk away in the dark
In need of an angel
From a mustard seed star
Watch him falling slowly
Like red and yellow hearts
Dandelion

Dandelion
Dan D Lion
Dandelion
Your exit was unannounced
Dandelion
Your sentence the wind pronounced
And that’s the same kid
Who shed a tear and wet the bed
With a pocket full of promises
And prayers in his head
That’s the same kid
Who shrunk away in the dark
Skipping stones ‘cross the lake by the park
Watch him falling slowly
Like red and yellow hearts
Dandelion
