| He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand
|
| In the other, a great lost novel that, I understand
|
| Was returned with a stamp
|
| That said, «Thank you for your interest, young man.»
|
| While preparing his soul for a perilous slide into crime
|
| He had decided that he would err on this side of divine
|
| Being told this was wise
|
| That there’d be payback with interest in due time
|
| So why all the history now?
|
| He was tied to a job selling miracle drugs from his home
|
| At his door every morning, a trophy arrived with the dawn
|
| With the following inscribed:
|
| «We've followed you with interest for some time.»
|
| So why all the history now?
|
| He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand
