The Sobriquet
Lyrics
A sunbather and a cigarette, Two swimmers and a newspaper A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins. A marching band on a barge In front of the hotel Distantly heard From beneath a ziggurat On a step pyramid of cushions A tan 100, A muffled march A soggy Trib A rhythm of snapshots by the lake A tan 100 A muffled match A sunbather and a cigarette, A sobriquet, Two swimmers and a newspaper, A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins. A sunbather and a Tanqueray, A sobriquet, Two swimmers and a newspaper. A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins, Scribbled on a napkin Unused or otherwise unused. A warm gin A muted march A dripping Times A rhythm of snapshots by the lake A warm gin A muted march
