savage Caught a man in my line of vision.
Had a look in his eye
as if he'd lost something
and a hunted stare
as if he'd do something
And it's strange how we live
in bargain city
with zero interest on iron horses
and money's god in most places
but see those teeming,unknown faces
turn to watch the haunted stranger
who'se on the road in desperation
tearing clothes
from his mortal body
while mothers hide their childrens faces
and scan the shops
for a little comfort
and a little comfort's what you need.
Now the road's blocked
and a siren's blaring
while someone's talking
down the danger
and it's O.K.
O.K.for the late movie
where bodies fall for entertainment
and the more blood
the more you like it;
for it's not real so just enjoy it
have your brain numbed
by the next advert
as the mass move in for the big finish
where he's painted blue
and stark naked
as the knife gleam's high
in summer city
and voices say
to take it easy.
Easy does it on the black highway
where they wrap him up
in a warm blanket,
wrap him round with medication
and it's all right folks
the show's over.
Back to your lives
and forget you saw it..... |
