|
My Prussian-blue electric clock's alarm bell rings, it will not stop and |
|
I can see no end in sight and search in vain by candlelight for some long road that goes nowhere for some signpost that is not there |
|
And even my befuddled brain is shining brightly, quite insane |
|
The chandelier is in full swing as gifts for me the three kings bring of myrrh and frankincense, |
|
I'm told, and fat old |
|
Buddhas carved in gold |
|
And though it seems they smile with glee |
|
I know in truth they envy me and watch as my befuddled brain shines on brightly quite insane |
|
Above all else confusion reigns |
|
And though |
|
I ask no-one explains |
|
My eunuch friend has been and gone |
|
He said that |
|
I must soldier on |
|
And though the |
|
Ferris wheel spins round my tongue it seems has run aground and croaks as my befuddled brain shines on brightly, quite insane |
