DRESS LIKE A POET

Is there more to be seen
More to be gleaned
When you're dressed like a poet?
Dressed like a poet

It's not how you look,
It's how you look at things
When you're dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

Do the feelings last longer
Is the beat a little stronger?
When you're dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

Are the colors all brighter
The world more exciting?
When you're dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

Yeah!

Now I've got the answers
I know all the dances
When I'm dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

If you've got the time
I'll spin you a rhyme
When I'm dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

I quote Keats and Yeats
and Meredith
When I'm dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

I can feel my feelings
With the best of them
When I'm dressed like a poet
Dressed like a poet

Put on your autumn coat
Let's take a stroll
Out in the nighttime air
Hold my hand, love
The future's just a hop from here

QUOTED LINES FROM G 'N' R:

"I've been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the ground
And the streets don't change, but baby the names
I ain't got time for the games
'Cause I need you, ooh ooh yeah, I need you..."

...to dress like a poet!

Dress like a poet
Dress like a poet
Dress like a poet
Dress like a poet
