Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Casabianca: boy stood on the burning deck
The boy stood on the railroad track,
The train approaching fast --
The boy stepped off the railroad track
And let the train go past
----
The boy stood on the burning deck,
His ass toward the mast,
And vowed he wouldn't budge an inch
Till Oscar Wilde has passed.
