Synchronicity II |
Another suburban family morning |
Grandmother screaming at the wall |
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies |
We can’t hear anything at all |
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration |
But we know all her suicides are fake |
Daddy only stares into the distance |
There’s only so. |
much heartache he can take |
Many miles away |
Something crawls from the slime |
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake |
Another industrial ugly morning |
The factory belches filth into the sky |
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today |
He doesn’t think to wonder why |
The secretaries pout and preen like |
cheap tarts in a red light street |
But all he ever thinks to do is watch |
And every single meeting with his so-called superior |
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch |
Many miles away |
Something crawls to the surface |
Of a dark Scottish loch |
Another working day has ended |
Only the rush hour hell to face |
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes |
Contestants in a suicidal race |
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance |
He knows that something somewhere has to break |
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights |
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache |
Many miles away |
There’s a shadow on the door |
Of a cottage on the shore |
Of a dark Scottish lake |
Many miles away, many miles away |
