Rooftop Brawl |
There was a rooftop brawl, and I twisted my own arm |
I had been working in the mirror on my charm |
And in the silence, I started laughing again |
I saw the stars |
I didn’t care |
There was a crowd below with their faces to the sky |
They seemed so curious, but I could not tell you why |
I started floating just like the ocean |
Everyone screaming, nobody there |
There was a sidewalk wake, I had stitches in my side |
I had been looking with a flashlight for my pride |
I heard the sirens, and they were crying |
Everyone flying scared |
I got a number written down on the back of my hand, but I can’t read it |
I got a notice in my pocket that I don’t understand |
I think I need it |
I got a watch on my wrist, but it just won’t tick |
I don’t know |
I got a key that I swallowed, yeah its part of the trick |
I gotta go |
And if the sun comes up, it will still be a surprise |
I will be statue still, rubbing both my eyes |
The bells are ringing, the bees are stinging, and I am singing, «La da da da.» |
