UPTOWN By Tom Jensen (c) 5/3/1017
I may soon catch on fire
Because I am not a liar
You'd assume it'd be the other way around...
While my beedy eyes they gleam with trust
That still doesn't mean I don't have my crutch
Forget somewhere down there
It's right here uptown where
People have been known to
Spontaneously self-combust
For everyone needs something
When something turns to nothing
When everything in all the world
From the sun and stars
To diamonds and pearls
Just doesn't mean that much
So it's so-and-so and such and such...
