BOW TIE

Verse

You can say with all certainty that clothes make the mannequin

But clothes can’t make the man.

You take somebody like a Jeffrey Dahmer, comb his hair

Sprink on talc. Doll him up and slap a bow tie on him

But doing all that won’t really change a thing.

In the end, you'll NOT want him near your daughter

There are some better off hogtied than bow tied.

Chorus

If you lie down with dogs you may well

Rise up with fleas or worse some disease.

Whereas beauty is skin deep, ugly seeps clear through to the bone.

There’s a sort of nasty that can't be vacuumed up or

Perfumed out of the human fabric.

You can’t get ahead of backwards thinking

Nor bow tie the wrong-headed.

Verse

In the same vein the reverse is true.

You can’t reduce a sound someone, who’s truly good and right

To a blurry over-simplified sound byte.

Nor to some other villainy-like err apparent.

Circumstantial evidentiary slurry might catch him out in a hurry.

Off-balance him. Magnify seeming imperfections in his image.

When back-footed and flailing, he’ll be rife for toppling and defaming.

Chorus

If you lie down with dogs you may well

Rise up with fleas or worse some disease.

Whereas beauty is skin deep, ugly seeps clear through to the bone.

There’s a sort of nasty that can NOT be vacuumed up or

Perfumed out of the human fabric.

You can’t run an ‘end around’ on backwards thinking.

No bow tie can turn back-to-front someone wrong-headed.

Verse

The simple and true chap might make an easy mark

For snapping a trap via photo ops.

Off his game—he’s easily ensnared inside the paparazzi’s frame,

Scandal rags, blue-lit CR tubes, etcetera.

All you eye witnesses, beware,

Don’t you use his own bow tie to noose him!

Cause, short of binding him, it’s bound to choke him.
