lyrics

An Avid Hand.

An idea invaded David on a hike.
Dive in! Do an oaken ocean!
He did.

An avid hand, a voice.

Each dank dike, each coy cove,
each inch a hive, a haven, a code.
Each hidden vine, each cone, each chink, a key.

In a candid video I had,
he did a naked knave in ink.
And invoked a Van Dyck via a Van Eyck in an
echo, in a chain.

Oh, I chide and yack and yank and hoick
Did vice niche in Hock ... ney?
Did hedonic havoc hide in a dandy icon?
Heck! I avoid deviancy and oink, in a naive vein...

on a handy, can-do kiddo, an ace!
No novice, and no doyen in decay.
I add no dickhead advice.
I convey a kind okay.

An avid hand, a voice.
