698 : 3/8/00 : Switch

1,769 : 3 ?


Calcutta express watercress
desire and fire and fire
Malcontent and heaven sent
one day I’ll make it underneath the wire
Nonsense verses read as curses
time relentless unbending
I’m full of shouts looking for outs
some way to stop the signals I’m sending
Bent and battered nothing mattered
so I pushed it into the sea
it floated a while sank with a smile
it never stopped looking at me
the thing in the jar got hit by a car
and was lost forever in a ditch
while I counted change they did a rearrange
then someone pulled a switch
