Give Me Something Somewhat
Left of Here
and I like Chicken

Man stares sometimes looking
upside down at me
and I shrug

Squares of simply shifting colors
wave at me
I wave back

Bended corners bounce around
into the sea
and I smile

(slow part)

        Like a Bird 
        That’s Falling Off the Fence 
         
        And Doesn’t know Just What  
        to Do 
 
        Little Feathers  
        blow Away from Him 
        Caught by Winds  
        That 
        Cannot Care 
        That 

Boiled Steak Fish makes a
lovely lemon tea
in broken cups

Scary Sands curl up and
simply blow away
that crazy sand

        Tiny Drops  
        of Water Fall 
        down what is 
        left of 
        what is  
        was 
 
        Drying Up 
        before The End 

(fast solo)

        Christmas Toys 
        Lay Dusty  
        By the Bed 
 
        Broken Long Ago 
        by Us When 
        We Couldn’t Care 

Swirly pitches sway and drop
beneath the band
a tad behind

In the pocket but
slightly dragging down
the dancers fall
