It's a mountain that we all must climb,. In giant leaps or one step at a time.. . I saw a fat, old money lender - shoes of silk and ermine,. Laughing as they stambled on blistered feet rough shod..
High above the sleeping city streets where we've all grown. A silent evil Slithers through the dawn.. Blissful in our ignorance - God how could we have known.
Another bad break - burst another bubble. Another lost cause - here's another trouble. Another heart ache - one more chance gone. Another lost chord in yet another wrong song..
Harbringer of death and slaughter -. (next time round you'll be the slain). Refuse the dying man your water -. (thirst when you come back again).. Don't spare the rod don't spoil the child -.
Science never sleeps - so I'm singing it a lullabye,. of wolves in sheeps clothing - devils in disguise,. and lab-coats draped over big black lies.. .
Yet another sluggard hour stumbles past,. it's no wonder life looks better through the bottom of a glass.. These bitter litanies you keep repeating,. are verbal fingers down my mental blackboard screeching..
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -. my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.. . Her velvet shadow in the rain, disturb the stillness of the hour..
["And ever has it been that love knows not it's own depth]. [until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran]. . Maybe someday someone will love me. for what I am (instead of what I should be.).
Hear my tale - I'm norman normal, always humble, mild and meek.. In my bank a lowly banker - run-down brach on nowhere street. 'till one day a stranger called - a fetid bible black he laughed,.
You say i'm a free man,. But what does that mean to a social security number?. A grey suit as sharp as a new guillotine,. Bought and paid for while drugging us under.
On wednesday the seventh your flight departed,. You waved us goodbye - we stood on the ground. As one journey ended another one started -. You passes overhead (your wings made no sound).
"Though I may seem callous" cried old Thomas Malthus,. "Paupers are better off dead.. That we have to feed them is something we need. Like a musket shot straight through the head.".
Look what I got for Valentine's Day:. Lady Luck came along, took my dreams away,. And the tears hurt more than a broken nose -. I bled from the thorns of a barbed-wire rose..
