one two three waltz |
the monster at the end of the day reads the minutes washes away the day dreams to make way for the night dreams like i let go of a balloon to see how fast it would rise but immediately wanted it back once it had left afraid some bird would choke the monster at the end of the day pounds at the organ the songs i ignored in the light of the sun whirl in the darkness of the night in a waltz one two three one two three until i finally fall asleep in a steam shovel silence |
