Clockwork

There's no need to be alarmed, I'll wake up anyway, perhaps today they won't hassle me, it will be better day; ship was sinking, englishman said: 'Women and children first, american said: '---- the women,' 'frenchman said: 'Is zere time?' I listen to Chopin who designed his notes so beautifully, the coordination from war-torn Poland categorically; I ask myself - what did I achieve? No one had a life like me, I broke hearts, like a cunning bridge player in spades and hearts. Now time is running out, you wonder what death is like, the only certainty, they say don't speak ill, but I'll strike, at the unbelievable, how grotty some were, cast no doubt, but then that's what this life was apparently just all about. It's over, the hands are together, so tissue, tissue, tissue, it's not just me but I bet you guys also had a few issue.
