The Grey Man Came Down the Lane
Smokestacks on the horizon
A dynasty of snakes
Uninhabitable islands
The music of this place
The grey man came down the lane
And cast his gaze of silent warning
He tried to speak but could only hiss like
Some old tape recording
Derelict ships on the coastline
Alligators in the pond
Fragments of a scattered bloodline
Soda cans and BB guns
The hurricane picked up the house and
Set it several blocks away
But somehow left the magazines stacked
Neatly on the table
At our Lady of the Sorrows
The matriarch was eating cake
From here on out her time is borrowed
The good Lord giveth and he take
And when the storm had lifted
The only telephone was gone
There were dormers in the causeway
No telling when the help would come
The grey man came down the lane
And cast his gaze of silent warning
He tried to speak but could only hiss like
Some old tape recording
The hurricane picked up the house and
Set it several blocks away
But somehow left the magazines stacked
Neatly on the table
A dynasty of snakes
Uninhabitable islands
The music of this place
The grey man came down the lane
And cast his gaze of silent warning
He tried to speak but could only hiss like
Some old tape recording
Derelict ships on the coastline
Alligators in the pond
Fragments of a scattered bloodline
Soda cans and BB guns
The hurricane picked up the house and
Set it several blocks away
But somehow left the magazines stacked
Neatly on the table
At our Lady of the Sorrows
The matriarch was eating cake
From here on out her time is borrowed
The good Lord giveth and he take
And when the storm had lifted
The only telephone was gone
There were dormers in the causeway
No telling when the help would come
The grey man came down the lane
And cast his gaze of silent warning
He tried to speak but could only hiss like
Some old tape recording
The hurricane picked up the house and
Set it several blocks away
But somehow left the magazines stacked
Neatly on the table
