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.
