BAR STOOL
A COMFORT FOR THE MANY PEOPLE
SOME SORT OF LIFE STYLE
ABSOLUTELLY ANOTHER HOME
FOR THE RICH, POOR, AND INBETWEEN
SOMEPLACE PEOPLE TALKING
TALKING AMONG THE MANY OTHERS TALKING
ALL WITH SOMETHING THEY THINK, IS IMPORTANT TO SAY
SOME ARE LISTENING
SOME WILL NOT
SOMEPLACE OF A HAVEN, FOR THE MISBEHAVING
ALTHOUGH ALL DRINK THEIR DRINKS AND BEER
AND A LOT OF THEM WHO BURY THEIR GREIF IN FEAR
JUST SITTING ON A BAR STOOL
BAR STOOLS ALWAYS SEEM TO MOVE AROUND
NEVER SITTING IN THE SAME ONE, TWO DAYS IN A ROW
BUT, BAR STOOLS HAVE BROUGH MANY SOULS TOGETHER
SOME OF THOSE SOULS HAVE TOLD YOU STORIES
STORIES OF LONG AGO OR STORIES TO COME
YES, OUR PLACE INDEED FULL OF MANY FACES
FACES THAT CHANGE THRU-OUT A GIVEN DAY
ALL SITTING ON A BAR STOOL
SOME THAT SIT WITH NOTHING TO SAY
SOME NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN TOMORROW OR TODAY
THEY ONLY LEAVE A REMANENT OF THEIR SOUL ON A BAR STOOL
LIKE MANY OTHERS I’M SURE I’VE SAT ON THEM ALL
SO MY SOUL AND MANY OTHERS ARE ALWAYS AROUND
FROM ONE BAR STOOL TO ANOTHER IS WHAT I FOUND
CREATING SOMEWHAT OF AN AURA OF SOULS
SIT ON ONE OF THE BAR STOOLS TODAY AT OUR PLACE
