song

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Pace around your room now
Looking everywhere
Eyes are only mirrors
Drowning in despair

You're hiding from the sun
Darkness as a cloak
Wrapped around a body
Bent so hard it broke

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Wonder if they'll hear you
Speaking to the air
Wonder if they'll listen
Though there's no one there

Throw yourself to the floor
Scream into the boards
Drunk on filthy tears
These are your rewards

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Don't worry now it's clear
Don't worry now our dear
We'll put an end to pain
We'll put an end to fear

Just take this pretty pill
Then drink this nasty swill
And slip into a dream
Let warmth replace the chill

Susie you are insane?
Susie you are mad?
Susie you are crazy?
Susie you are sad?

Susie you are gone. . .

I've come to buy Christmas today
Could you tell me which aisle it's in?
Do I need to go this or that way?
Or perhaps it's here in this bin?

I've come to buy Christmas today
My children must have every bit
Now hurry and show me the way
To your biggest holiday kit

What do you mean
I can't buy it here?
Your ad clearly says,
"Christmas sale
biggest this year!"

I've come to buy Christmas today
Now run and fetch it my friend
And I'll put this big gun away
Then all of our problems will end

I've come to buy Christmas today
And I won't leave without it

My nightingale
even in your silence
I hear your song
Sweet with mournful pride
It echoes on the hills
As your eyes do in dreams
to linger though
the day
and inspire dreams again
Sing out sweet bird
let your voice
drown out shadows
of reflected past
Rise high
With wings spread
Rise higher
Than the sorrow
of your song
Soar
and let your plumage
become stars radiant
for ages all
to marvel
My Nightingale
Let your song
end silence
Let your flight
awaken dawn
