the ash falls crumbling masterfully down from your stimulant crafted so perfect
but your nervousness and your deserted nest will cut you a break you deserve it
the appraisal committee is bundled up tight for the paste and its taped up edge
all the castaways reach for an uncharted spot where they pretend to stand on the ledge
the rhyme schemes repeat to the horror of judges who swore with one hand on their mouse
and inches from where those expressionless eyelids won't look there's the shadow of doubt
bear in mind those that trampled the floor didn't leave you no prints for to follow across
it's just this way and that way on two seperate paths in the space where your teeth can't be flossed
Arthur's cup is in reach I can see it up top on my cabinet immense
all my shoved-over food escaped where it's kept and the Saxons are climbing my fence
but his sword that he said he had pulled from the stone looked like one I had crafted for you
obligated to clap in your chair where you're strapped it's not long before the show is through
it's not long before the show is through
