Worlds Within Worlds Lost In Inner Space

A man woke up one day Lost in inner space Went so far down The proverbial rabbit hole That he did not know Where he was Nor what time it was Nor when it was As he stared out At a bewildering world A world lost in inner space Deep down in his dreams Filled with nightmarishly real Monsters, demons and ghostly apparitions He saw them and began running Running running running With the hell hounds behind him Leading him to the edge of the pits of hell itself abandon all hope ye who enter here the sign read above the entrance to the pit and there was a devil standing there armed with a clipboard and a computer spreadsheet Satan was the ultimate bureaucrat Name barked the devil Date of Birth ? Date of Death? Don’t know? That won’t do at all Hmm Car accident due to drunk driving And you killed a child Bad on you But here in hell The punishment fits the crime And the devil laughed Joined in by the hell hounds And other nightmare creatures A bell ran out In the purple crystalline sky And slowly the worlds receded And he found himself alive In his room And vowed That today Was the day He would quit drinking Quit taking drugs And quit chasing strange woman And having wild libertine sex He picked up the phone It was Satan’s aid Be careful what you vow We are listening If you fulfil your vows You might find yourself Escaping life in Hell It is up to you to choose And the man got dressed Went to work Thinking deep thoughts And drove off a cliff And back down the endless Worlds within worlds
