Black and White Lady.

Flat on my back as the world sits on my chest wearing his mustache among hawaiian islands and I'm not breathing a heavy finger prods my cheek "you are SAD" through gapping teeth and I obey and I am shameless and I surrender like a woman in colorless film i am fatefully tied to train tracks come one, come all come run me over for no one can tell i can't get up myself my knees have caved in my blood is not flowing my light is fading and fate takes hold.
