[transcribed by Troy Peters ]
10
Pink confetti, shotgun wedding
11
Rocket secrets someone's shredding
12
Nineteenth floor.
13
Laundry ticket that exploded
14
Joust with Quaker pamphlet goaded
15
Into war.
16
Ankle deep we heroes amble
17
Ankle deep we wade
18
Ankle deep through someone else's
19
Ticker tape parade
20
Softly, softly, softly
21
Falls papersnow...
22
Softly, softly, softly
23
All of our works blow away...
24
Petals fell on Petaluma
25
Till receipt from Montezuma's
26
Burger hut.
27
Every day a billion dollars
28
Fall as black and white blue-collars
29
Plough their rut.
30
Softly, softly, softly
31
Falls papersnow...
32
Softly, softly, softly
33
All of our works blow away...
34
Ankle deep we heroes amble
35
Ankle deep we wade
36
Ankle deep through someone else's
37
Ticker tape parade
38
Jets folded from Wall Street Journal
39
Shoot down cartons care of Colonel's
40
Chicken ranch.
41
Kleenex where the guy's been cryin'
42
Goodbye note from girl who's flyin'
43
To new branch.
44
Softly, softly, softly
45
Falls papersnow...
46
Softly, softly, softly
47
All of our works blow away...
48
Letter that I'd meant to send you
49
To torpedo and up-end you
50
Sheet by sheet.
51
Tore up all the beg and bitter
52
Add them to the drift of litter
53
On your street.
54
Softly, softly, softly
55
Falls papersnow...
56
Softly, softly, softly
57
All of our works blow away...
58
Ankle deep we heroes amble
59
Ankle deep we wade
60
Ankle deep through someone else's
61
Ticker tape parade
