Haniwa

Face down I call like it like I see it And nobody knows what it's been like Here-- Where it feels good In a way that no one knows it should That we won't Be here long I just can't believe you happened when you did: In color and stereo With endless promise and nothing to cope The compost that could have been history Rising from nothing but dust And the will of the universe, besides It's not like they told me that it'd be They signed me up And they didn't give me a jersey Sleep in The world will turn without us If you close the blinds we'll be safe Here-- 'Cause I know you Excuse fever of one-hundred-and-two And you won't Be here long I just can't believe this had to happen when it did: In color and stereo With endless promise and nothing to cope The compost that could have been history I just can't believe this had to happen to us when it did: In black & white on a morning show Broke his coffee mug on the linoleum floor And you cried on the stairs cause you didn't know what was gonna happen next--
