dissolve
Sugar cube drop into a yellow cup What makes the world just waking up Resolve? Dissolve Who knows where on earth it's going to stop? I can't hear you 'cause we're breaking up Dissolve, dissolve  And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic And the birds all fly from the branches in a panic And a back-fire echoes down the hillside As the last headline report dies Dissolve, dissolve  Ice is melting at the distant Pole The gin and tonic glasses overflow Dissolve, dissolve The precious little else that I could say Your stupid tears of laughter washed away Dissolve, dissolve  While the poisonous light pours from the picture palace And it flickers on, tries so hard to be scandalous A child keeps beating on a toy drum And the tablets dropped on your tongue Dissolve, dissolve, dissolve, dissolve  "So salute me in moving frame" "I might not be there when you look again" The mourning border card behind the clock The hour that he passed, unwound and stopped Dissolve
