The votes have been cast and counted and the protagonists have left the stage. One to relative obscurity the other to take on the world’s affairs.

Went looking for a pella that would work with a song about the US elections and found a wonderful piece by Ciggi Burns which seemed to fit perfectly.

The dancers have performed and left the stage
The kingmakers are waiting to be paid
And all the little people they’re awaiting change

A is for the animal and B is for the beautiful
C is for the creature in us all

The man they said was poisoned won the day
And the woman with her smiles just lost her way
The gift of power had been handed down

A is for the animal and B is for the beautiful
C is for the creature in us all

The wonder of it all weighs down the mind
The sense in it is difficult to find
The pundits look for answers to the news

A is for the animal and B is for the beautiful
C is for the creature in us all

When oaths are taken to uphold the law
To lead the countries masses through the door
That takes them back where everything is fine

A is for the animal and B is for the beautiful
C is for the creature in us all
