Arcs (are straight lines)

There is a contest on the beach

and all the stories are supplied

hold your own hold your eyes

we'll run these stingers through the sand

and offer up one good side

I thought of you the other day

as I drew a perfect arc

you're out there and I'm doing my best

arcs are straight lines in progress

who offer up one good side

What I'm seeing ain't really there

at least not on this stretch of road

there's a break in the sky let's go on

and I'll tell you about it another time

and offer you one good side

Old standards sometimes live alone

not much can really touch them

it's nice to see them looking down on inventiveness

among the shells

who try so hard for one good side

Now there's no where left to go

if you leave from here they'll send you back

but what more could you need?

You got your own main street

with two good sides

two good sides
