The Weird Night
tonight is a weird night
when all the weird people come out
and they do their weird things
in the streets of this weird city
tonight is the night
that eyes appear in the woods
following your every move
then vanish faintly
tonight is the night
that strange lights blink afar
and the noise beats around you
rising in eerie crescendo
tonight is the night
that ashes rise
and waltz in the bonfire like
Romanovs
tonight is the night
when you really start to hear things
a cat’s shriek THEN THE SOUND OF A ******
………...then dead silence
tonight is the night
when everything is weird
and everyone is weird
and I’m weird
and that’s alright
tonight is a weird night
when all the weird people come out
and they do their weird things
in the streets of this weird city
and that’s alright
Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 use a rhythm scheme to help convey the idea portrayed in each
