Pandora's Lullaby

So you hugged the globe Now it's whirling too fast I really got no hope to hang on to the past The train has departed, the toxins have started To accounce that none will last I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air The words unspoken, the promises broken And the ones who really care I'm the watcher of the scene I see our shadows on the screen And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee I stop to breathe for a while Maybe it was me This is the world gliding by Like the driftwood beams On a lifetime's stream The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's Lullaby I see distored faces coined like gold And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told A watermark against a spark Umbrellas that they hold I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky Buy I just sit and wonder a bit that tehy never wonder why
