Concrete and Mustard

Abga Aba you’re my only hope, Abga Aba you’re my only friend
Always faithful, always treat me right
Abga Aba right until the end

Just need someone to understand me
Don’t reprimand me, my words are true
Need some woman to sweep away the gloom
With her magic broom, that’s all I need

Abga Aba you’re my only hope, Abga Aba you’re my only friend
Always faithful, always treat me right
Abga Aba right until the end

Now it’s the evening of day two and the locks on the doors are loose
And the pastures are turning blue
I can feel yo trying to break through
Don’t compromise, don’t spit out lies
Those shattered dreams will revitalize
But the alarms begin to sound and the guards begin to search the grounds
Someone heard a foreign sound, hurry before they track us down
But I don’t know which way to go
My heart says “yes”, my head says “no”
Should I jump into the bottomless hole?
My heart says “yes”, my head says “no”

Abga Aba you’re my only hope, Abga Aba you’re my only friend
Always faithful, always treat me right
Abga Aba right until the end

Analysis: A very theatrical tune that may be a bit uneven and melodramatic, but still something well worth preserving.
