Honk For Peace (lieb & davis/bmi)

Never been so cold before
The mansion in the woods
Oughta be some kind of law
For better neighborhoods
Double-cross the railroad tracks
It means you’re going home
A better place an empty space so good to be alone

Baby please, you know that I’m tryin’
Honk for peace, On that Bridge of Lions

Bleeding hearts and liberals better give their signs a rest
Waitress at the alehouse caught me lookin’ up her dress
She promised she would twist my arm, but no, she pulled my leg
She never meant to do no harm She just wanna see me beg

Baby please, you know that I’m tryin’
Honk for peace, On that Bridge of Lions


Beyond the trees two silent E’s, a wordsmith on the loose
Oscar Wilde meets Virginia Wolfe and a bit Dr. Seuss
Mr. Brown done gone downtown, mnemonically absurd
With anagrams and palindromes watch him un-scrabble any word

Baby please, you know that I’m tryin’
Honk for peace, On that Bridge of Lions
