|
One was a piper. |
|
One was a rat. |
|
They couldn't decipher how it came to that. |
|
And at the cockadoodle they crawled out of their beds. |
|
As if the rooster knew each rising dawn they dread. |
|
Lost in a flurry. |
|
Looking for landmines hid in a ribcage back at the front line. |
|
And when the sun is falling they crawl out of their skins. |
|
They hear the moonlight calling them from this mess they're in. |
|
Take deep breaths and waste sweet seconds. |
|
The late day beckons, the late day beckons. |
|
And if you save it, it'll slip away, spend seven nights like |
|
Saturday.Yawn, |
|
Yawn, Yawn, we're all long gone. |
|
If we get lucky we'll be dead by dawn. |
|
So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on! |
|
I wanna get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on! |
|
Charging the windmill and missing the mark. |
|
Blinded by sunlight but drafting an arc. |
|
I've got a million dollars made of ten million dimes paid for ten billion failures of others' good advice. |
