Beautiful Career from Eponymous by Arms of Kismet

Gabriel, sound the trumpet
the oracle is here
ain't nobody's strumpet
is selling pretzels and beer
with a little Leonard Cohen
a little Philip Glass
a little love and thievery
the past is never past

your guitar or your manager
is somebody your friend
on whom you can depend
who loves you

so I limp and I lurk
I leap and I leer
craning my neck
to see your beautiful career
with a little David Wilcox
a little Philip Glass
a little borrowed scenery
the past is never past

who loves you, baby
who loves you
and your beautiful career

the floor is strewn with clippings
droppings from the press
ink stains and snippings
it's anybody's guess
if it's you who they're extolling
or some cipher of love
sweet adulation, baby
pennies from above
