Never Never Land

from Ghost of Summers Past by Jason Wilber

/

lyrics

Once young waitress waits for the cook to ring her bell
In a diner between black factories on a 4 lane road to hell
People shuffle in and out, they never see her face
No one needs a menu though, it’s just another day
In never never land

The babies all born coughing breathing factory filth
Wrap’em in their blankets, from their it’s all down hill
Baby face Jim was still coughing when he was 25
At 37 he found salvation in furnace number 5

In never never land
Where the rats and the smog and the bums
All lend a hand
The King adjusts his rusty crown and strikes up the band
They all believe it’s never never land

A greasy rain drips rhythm through a worn out bedtime verse
Tired fingers turn a dirty page and the story keeps getting worse
In never never land

Chorus
