Some Guest

I wake after dusk to a starless sky
The cosmos fleeing keenly
Towards some distant planned demise
I have to see you
See you all
I want to know our only score
But the television's blaring loud
The daily news has pinned it down
It says they're gathering outside my door
They're gathering outside my door

Out in the street there's some noise and some fear
Crowds chanting out one everything
And making it so very clear
The television's blaring loud
The daily news has pinned it down
They're gathering
They're gathering
They're near

And out in the street there's more noise and more fear
Crowds chanting out their everything
And making it so very clear
The television's blaring loud
The daily news has pinned it down
They're gathering
They're gathering
They're near

And meanwhile down this way there's quite a scene
And meanwhile down this way there's quite a scene
But somehow I don't think
You'll know exactly what I mean
And meanwhile down this way there's quite a scene
But somehow I don't think
You'll want to know
Or care to know
Or let it go

And all the while you say they're gathering outside my door
And in that while you're broke inside
And lighting fires
And hanging wires
And pissing on my floor
