Transport, motorways and tramlines,
Starting and then stopping,
Taking off and landing,
The emptiest of feelings,
Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
And when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.
Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going,
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I am gonna grow wings,
A chemical reaction,
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
Let down,
Let down,
Let down.
You know, you know where you are with,
You know where you are with,
Floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
And one day, I am gonna grow wings,
A chemical reaction, (You know where you are)
Hysterical and useless (You know where you are)
Hysterical and (You know where you are)
Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.
Should have known Barry would let everybody down, including me. And himself.
ReplyDeleteBugs get crushed and eaten by worms and worms get smushed and eaten by birds and birds get shot and eaten by hunters and hunters crush bugs beneath their boots and boots get buried six-foot deep where hunters are eaten by worms, by birds, and by bug-crushing hunters.
