It’s all over the sheep have all turned into rainclouds
And the men on the lawn are all singing their prayers aloud
But the night isn’t here quite yet
The bookies still placing their bets
They’ll never know what they might get
They make themselves too proud
But the horses looked up and got scared
Of the riders and the whips they prepared
They retreated insane and ensnared
And ran straight into the crowd
I tried calling this morning but the night must’ve got to you first
I fed the beeping my lyrics and it booed me, said I was the worst
And I guess I’m interpreting noise
Like the vain and the self obsessed boys
It’s not like I can buy you your toys
Or heal what you nursed
So I packed my bags amidst the applause
But I stayed right where I was
And at that point the unflinching laws
Were all but submersed
The beekeepers daughter is ignored for the reasons you’d expect
She’s a woman and nature is our enemy, since the last time I checked
Seeing dawn now she breaks into hives
Seeking refuge in the king of the dives
It’s unknown how she seems to survive
Just like the ships that she wrecked
And the husband breaks into a grin
The politician’s tiny head starts to spin
He didn’t expect all his targeted men
To be so direct
It doesn’t seem like your style to fall in love with a singer
But after all the bootlegged stories I assume you could use yourself a ringer
And the soldier shoots himself in the toes
And the animals forced the zoos all to close
The alien just says so it goes
And pulls out a stinger
We move over unremarkable news
It’s just like us to lazily choose
The easy way out, there are few who refuse
Not to linger
He wrote me a story but he doesn’t seem to know I exist
But he’s been dead several years I expect he won’t know what he missed
In the war when he though he would die
Seeing bombs make a backdrop of sky
Cities gone in the blink of an eye
With a twist of his wrist
As the dust clears all he sees
Are a handful of ash coloured trees
And the birds who all seem
To persist
And the birds who all cease
To exists
