I have the city
Beneath me. If I fall, they
Will catch me, won't they?
Serenity Elliot Oct 2014
Last night,
In bed tucked up tight,
I heard a man whistling in the darkness

Teddy Bear's Picnic from down below
It was clear, soft and slow
I got up and whistled back

He wouldn't hear me from floor four
But then he continued the morbid tune
And it was even louder
Than before
This actually happened.

Hey sir, please don’t go,
We need you so,
You could help us if you really tried
Don’t turn your back,
See here, what we lack,
You can put us back on track
Help, we’re so sick,
Someone aid us, quick,
There’s a war raging on outside
Someone please be aware,
Our bodies are bone and bare,
Turn around, sir, just at least pretend to care

Blood and money
All you want is money,
Smile as you go past, no one finds this funny
What you don’t see, you don’t care about
Riding head upright, while we all bow and shout
Riches, riches, sell some of your riches
Replace them with the grey bodies in the ditches
What you don’t see, you don’t care about
Riding head upright, while we all stand and shout

Where is my left?
Where is my right?
What is this mist that eclipses the light?
What are my bearings
And where is the sun?
I cannot go back
And I cannot sail on.
I am lost,
I am lost,
Will I ever be free
Of this fingerlike fog
On this mystery sea.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire,
I think it will end in a nuclear explosion.
