Aztec Two-step Cockroach Cacophony
A buzzer sounds to wake you up
And steals a dream that you thought was real
You close your eyes again
Feel your face with your hand, again you dream
But not the same
A different name, another game
You’d like to stay, you know you can’t
You leave your bed to wet your face
First water hot then water cold
You see yourself as half awake
You look so young you feel so old
And as the dark turns slow to gray
It’s neither night it’s neither day
You’d like to stay, you know you can’t
You look away now, look away now
You look away from all the thoughts and things you once dreamed you’d like to do
But all that you can think about is what’s confronting you
Is all that you can think about is what’s confronting you?
You turn the light to find some clothes
You put them on to go to the stove
You place some water on the flame
The faucet drips into the drain
You clank a spoon inside a cup
A cigarette you know you’re up
You ask for what you cannot say
Life oh bleeding life
Which labors on with every breath
And takes you reeling, blindly wheeling
Even closer to your death
You hear the judge and jury curse
You watch them sentence you to thirst
And as you move from womb to breast
From nothingness to nothingness
You look away now, look away now
You look away from all the thoughts and things you once dreamed you’d like to do
But all that you can think about is what’s confronting you
Is all that you can think about is what’s confronting you?
You leave your bed to wet your face
First water hot then water cold
You see yourself as half awake
You look so young you feel so old
And as the dark turns slow to gray
It’s neither night it’s neither day
You’d like to stay, you know you can’t
You look away now, look away now
You look away from all the thoughts and things you once dreamed you’d like to do
But all that you can think about is what’s confronting you
Is all that you can think about is what’s confronting you?
Hi ho, nobody home
No meat, no drink, nor money have I none
Still I will be merry
