So Long Sweet Summer

Same Ship, Different Dane

Put the poison pill to your mouth,
And we will swallow all that we can,
Until the fading lines of sentiment
Are all that keep us from blacking out completely.

Read my head
And let's step outside
Scare up from the grave
Those revenants
No-one could ever save.

Solemn walk
Let's take it up in the holidays,
With all those lazy days,
All those surface glitter days
Where we can do nothing at all
But think of someone else...

But to the head?
Ever thinking Simon finds it hard to decipher
The key written on the cave mouth,
Though the door is only a dragon's breath away.
The fridge hidden, but the jewels safely out in the open.
So we decide to stay,
And guide the fast ship towards the plains.
Ever needed more token?
No, but it goes fast enough.
For a child on a zebra crossing, in any case.
Waves go round,
Capsizing,
But holding onto the anchor
In the vain hope that this is the one thing that will remain afloat
In a sea of fools.

However the bedding in the belly of the storm
Was sub-standard.
We rode away
until another week.
