Boron Rod

[Caravan Ray]

Decay begins within, and the rain keeps coming down
Rotting away from the inside, outside the rain's coming down
Since he's been round I'm on shifting sand, I'm undermined, on unsteady ground
And the rain keeps coming

And the sky outside is finally turning blue
With you I'm not sure
I'm not sure anymore
Someone is white anting me

Implanted in our lives
Rod said he was here to help
On the surface all OK, you say we are in good shape
Since he's been round, it's just not so,
Foundations crumbling and letting go
And the rain keeps coming

And though I know one day the weather will be fine
With us I'm not sure
I'm not sure anymore
Someone is white anting me


White anting
White anting
White anting
White anting me

Boron Rod
by bgm

The things you don't notice
The day after day
The damp and the mould and decay

The person who loved you
In every way
But now it's just crumbling away

You still say things look fine
I can see that they're not
There's a way we can stop it
And save what we've got
Like those spikes for old wood so the house doesn't rot
I think that we need a boron rod

It seems like a fungus
Has had a head start
In eating away at your heart

Or maybe the insects
Have had the best part
But now it's all falling apart

You still say things look fine
I can see that they're not
There's a way we can stop it
And save what we've got
Like those spikes for old wood so the house doesn't rot
I think that we need a boron rod

---------------------------------------
Rod’s stories were long, without any point
He never smoked or drank or toked any joint
He said he was a salesman of tuxedos
Instead of Paris, he’d go to Toledo

Chorus 1:
We called him Boron Rod
He was so normal it was very odd
Oh Boron Rod

There was a 21-gun salute when he died
The President was there and eulogized
Turns out he was a spy, killed on a mission
Took all that to get him any recognition

Chorus 2:
We never knew he had a secret
All those years he never leaked it

He was actually really cool
We never knew it
