IN SIGHT:

How am I to get anything done
When the days keep flying by?
Where do they fly to?
Because I want to go there, too.

Standing selling death
          to the hardest ones
          to love
          and the price keeps going up
                                                  and up
                              keeps going up
                                                  and up
                                        UP
                              and
                                                  UP

Lock up; kick out the lights
          kick their lights out
          wave them on and on to lesser things
          and dream of razing the whole thing
down to the ground
down
to
the
groun
d

Sometimes selling death
          can be the hardest
test of all
and you know the price keeps going up
and you know that the price will keep on going
          UP

(note to self:)
'Hold in step; don't look up
Don't kick out the lights
Don't kick their lights out;
          These ones
          The hardest ones to love
                    L.   O.   V.   E.

Love.

Take in the foot fall
          while my head's facing the ground
I wander around
I take each one as it comes to me

How am I to get anything done this way,
          when the days keep flying by?
          where do they fly to?
          I want to go there, too.

Standing selling death
          to the hardest ones
          to love
          and the price keeps going up
                                                  and up
                              keeps going up
                                                  and up
                                        UP
                              and
                                                  UP

LIGHT OUT
lights on
LIGHT OUT
          OUT
          OUT
          O   U   T
