Drink a Toast to Never

We look up at the night sky And see our past twinkle right by The future reflected upon the Waters that lie below And the fleeting present The ground we stand upon As we watch it Being swallowed by the black sky And the black sea The priciest time and space Is the here and now Air is priceless, water is precious But earth is simply expensive Fucking expensive— 4000 rupees per square feet — This ground called Panvel Where factory meets jungle Meets stars Meet my pet dog Itchy who runs between the three By the time he joins the stars, he's out of breath And has forgotten me But my faithful errand boy that he's returns to me in dreams Sometimes the factory has to close But after hours is when the brightest stars glow As old and passé as they maybe, the hide n seek they play with me Only makes for beauty, beauty, beauty Because something dead becomes all the more beautiful Having drowned in our tears trickling mournful Risen out of the factory through thick and thin Memorial blogs and smog Dirtful of smoke blowin out your tok Where dust for dirt and this for that Join hands to laugh in your face! Into thin air, thin air called the night sky We look up at the night sky While I'm glad like Mr. Tambourine All those sad days Are a memory Two plus one's still The number three All you fine folks I'm pleased to meet Won't you sing (for me) Drink A Toast to Never For twinkle and star belong To the same forgettable past Called history Bound to earth and sea By everyday catastrophe But how many rupees are you Ready to unleash for this land Where earth turns into water Into sky in front of Our very own eyes? Count your dogs While you still have them barking Else the stars reflected In the faithful pools of their eyes Might just drown your happiness dry Or scare the living daylights Out of the dead that lie below While I sing this melody Lull into sweet serenity Someone's calling you to speak All that's meant and yet to be Won't you sing, won't you sing for me Drink A Toast to Never Drink A Toast to Never Drink A Toast to Never Drink A Toast to Never Drink A Toast to Never Drink A Toast to Never
