Sitting Ducks
happy happy happy
flowers and daisies
smelling the roses and pansies
right around this time of year?
are you nuts?
anyway it was a cool night
it was October
I must admit i'm a detective
of a nonexistant crime scene looking and haunted by something soo bizarre and
grotesque
dontthese people have imaginations?
flowers and dandelions
soo many now pushing up daisies
swaying in the aisles of how to surprise some god
but i'll never lead you to the secret
stay away from the secret
its a two edged sword
you want to live forever right
never see the darkness?
never be bitten by the underworld?
then never let curiousity claim another cat!
i'm just a sitting duck
smiling soo happy
oh look another pretty flower
i wonder where the sniper is at
oh my a wishing well
i don't have a penny
but i sure am thirsty
just some level i can never fully see
just some complex of creativity to point all the fingers at something that didn't
happen
stay away from the secret
keep smelling your flowers
keep setting up the endless laughter
keep making it a comedy for me to not cry myself to sleep
political mind zones
of red zones and headphones
and im trying to inform you
there is a murderer amongst us
it's not me
but look around
people are going missing
soon you'll see the bodies
soon you'll notice it
just stay away from the secret
don't let curiousity find another way to skin the cat!
for now i'm a sitting duck
with a slurpee and a smile
a domino with a purple top hat and a fuzzy fur coat saying all the stupid things
can't resist temptation
where are the vampires
and the professors of psychology and seals of fate,
just stay away from the secret
and one day you might survive like me
