245

I heard the world whisper a tune

And I tried to catch it with my ear

I saw a man lay down in the street

Said he had nothing left to fear

I saw a bus go rolling by

Something strange behind the wheel

And the faces of a thousand friends

Among the things they like to steal

The sun came up again today

Yellow hues now tinted green

I thought I might get another chance

But that remains to be seen

Trapped inside my house once more

Like a monkey in its cage

Unlike the world I knew before

This won't get better with age

Windows boarded, doors all locked

I can only sit and wait

With loaded gun and an ounce of will

I contemplate my fate.
