rewrite: ON THE BACK ROW (from the album ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME)

spitballs fly through the air

trumpets blare with reknowned flair

teacher blames it on the back row

gonna give it a go, go with the flow

on the back row

games get got, sold and bought

roses are given, roses are sought

 except for the ones on the back row

boats adrift, set to sea, those sharks don't bother me

smoking and drinking, world getting fuzzy

look through the haze like ruth buzzie

on the back row

webster and merriam, wordsmiths all

take a fifth of whatever, heed the call

the call of the wild the call of peter and paul

from on the back row

 on the back row, the gift of sanity

on the back row from where i'm standed

on the back row ran to thee

or be stranded

from on the back row

that's where the heat go

bursting from the back 

on the back row
