The Baron Of Sentiment
Augie March

Duty, who's your master?

Who gave you fingers?

Who gave you to me?


And why do we always dream of disaster

When we pay our dues to disaster with some loyalty?

And when its work is done and we ought to just pick up and run

We sleep in the place we have slept for so long


So long, for so long

So long in the place we should run from


And when I, when I have forgotten

When I have forgotten the act to stand and sing

I will raise up, raise one finger

One finger of the truth that wears no ring


And when it's work is done

And the stitch of my smile has come undone

I'll tell you why I wore it for so long


For so long

So long in the place we should run from

So long for so long

So long in the place we should run from


And I wasn't so drunk that I didn't hear you dreaming

All seized up and wretched and baying blue hell

At the ceiling of the room

Well, it's dying to leave, alright


Duty, who's your master?

Who gave you fingers?

Who gave you to me?


And why are we always dreaming of disaster

When we live our lives so careless and so comfortably?

O but underneath this song, I can hear another song

It tells me I'm not wrong to stay so long


(So long)

For so long

So long in the place we should run from

So long in the place we should run from

So long in the place we should run from


And I wasn't so drunk that I didn't hear you dreaming
