What happened?
You used to be so great
And then you committed a dereliction of duty
The first place to eat in the village
An icon at the gates
Plates of good Italian food
And fantastic pizzas
And cold beers from all over the earth
And open until 4:00 AM
A beaconed neon light
But then what
A spiral to depths
A bad spot so no repair here
A customer sees dereliction and does not return
So further decline
We invested in you
You did not invest in yourself
So we divested of you
And we wait
Knowing this, this is the corner
The gateway to the village
And we fret as the building decays, empty
And we hope for unique
And satisfying
Demanding evidence rumors of chains are all false
Cause this is our home
And we will support you
So long as you are part of the fabric
Or we will sink you.
We are fickle that way.
