The Ass's Ears - Greenslade

Someday soon we’ll hear the cry of our conscience

Youthful indiscretion has been blamed

Caught between the broken glass of a promise

And integrity too weak to make a frame

Make a frame

We’ve eyeballed everything with wishful thinking

And midased everyone who could be touched

The ass’s ears were handed down among us

Never has Apollo laughed so much

Laughed so much

As usual we’re too late to pay the piper

And anyway there is no tune to call

If fancy dress is worn at the finale

Who’ll come as a mushroom to the ball

To the ball
