Well, Double R.J. is older now, he stays up watching the night snow fallBlack bound book on the table, dusty beside card tricks and gamesYeah, one by one he cuts the names from the back of the daily newsLaying side by side they make quite a company of menYeah, and all the things they've done and not done, glaring under the scopeDouble R.J.'s mom, she called this morning, all is well back home‽And how are you today, my sonâ€, Fine, ma, I'm fineSeventeen pages set in place for a back line of memoriesYeah, the new one's fighting for space and concernWalter winks across the cue‽My folks are goin' out today, I've got some weed, are you comin'?â€And it's twenty four years later, the movie lot's still intactTables buried under truck bones and machine shop toolsWell, Walter hasn't found his way from the park yet to page eighteenOh, and all those girls, God, what were their names?Should've kept their picturesIt's starting to blur on Double R.J., they're rolling into oneExcept for Elvin the snake and Indian GeorgeAnd the guy you couldn't scareAnd then first kiss on the playground bought with sister's stolen ringSo the odd discomfort shawl, drapes it across his bony wingsAs the loss of honest vision seers, pioneers and double daresSet your clothes on fire if you ever breathed a wordAnd Double R.J. falls backwards, he can see further awayAnd Double R.J. falls backwards, he can see further and further away
