While Caesar Watches For Brutus Part Two

(continued from While Caesar watches for Brutus Part One) Then you think of a face you love, those prayers begin You try to crawl safely back in The crowd disperse with taunts of " chicken" You reach for the priest's hand, you begin to stand But you slip on a pigeon's shhhhhh........ You awaken in a body cast from head to toe Napoleon and Caesar are debating the earth's woe Nurse Ratchet comes in and blows a pill down your spout You've bought a one way ticket to loony bin, with no way out The world is so mechanical It's becoming so scientific It is getting to be so-so difficult Your eyes search for answers Your lips mutter why Then you glance and Napoleon walks by He salutes you, his wounded comrade And kisses your cheeks You smile, Napoleon smiles While Caesar watches for Brutus.
