The Lunatic's Circle
Everything goes round and round
No one seems to have a frown
The Lunatic is going down
to the moving, lighted town
The Lunatic is now retired
His thoughts are oh so tired
Mary, no one seems to find her
Engulfed in a sea of fur
The Loony leaves the earth
His conscious is receding
In life, he’s found the meaning
He tells them “Please don’t leave me!”
(He) Feels like he is weeping
The Lunatic writes in his head
The tip is out of lead
Everyone screams and shouts
It all simply restarts
It all calms down
Everything goes around
Everyone’s cheery, but The Dreary
He sits alone, calls her on the phone
“Help! The walls are breathing
No one seems to hear me.”
“Do you see what I see?
On the floor above me.”
It all falls down
Gets turned around
Now he has a frown
Goodbye, lighted town
As it’s getting cold,
He’s growing old
His thoughts are coming back
Building on the stack
He stands above the track
Passing where he’s been before
He’s lost in his thoughts
Ones that never seem to stop.
