The Left Child

The rise and fall of kompromat
The catamaran is left on land
The lion's lost his habitat
The empty needs room to expand

Mars hangs swollen in the sky
The watcher of a drooping eye
Laugh if you'd like, you can
Laugh as you die, you can
Watch the planets go to sleep
Make contact with some broader sweep
Something is wrong, let's say
Something has gone sideways

Oh, we missed the lie
We missed the lie
We missed the lie
Oh, we missed it

The up and down of indolence
The rattle and shake, the roll of the dice
Ignoring holes beneath the fence
Without any care for your life

The analects of the abyss say
We'll all hang for this, but
What else is there here?
Just fairy tales and worn out scales
Visiting my dreams
Enrico Fermi's schemes, but
What could live out there with ill intent or spaces spent?

Left child, oh left child
How do you feel at the end of your day?
Left child, oh left child, your star's going cold, run away

Left child, oh left child
How do you feel at the end of your day?
Left child, oh left child, your light ever dims in dismay

Left child, oh left child
How do you feel at the end of your day?
Left child, oh left child, your light ever dims in dismay
Your star's going cold, run away
