If I ever see
what's in front of me
then I'll know it's not there
when the air shimmers.

Glimpse?
yeah glimpse is
for wimps,
but the spirit rocks me
to sleep
and in theΒ crying comedy of
a cosmic tragedy
I dream of Troy.

Running out of time and upside down
the clock ticks on in the bedsit town
and no one beats the man.

it's a code and hard to crack
you can't move on and you can't
go back
fleeced by the shops who
pay off the cops

doughnuts don't do it for me.

they will pacify
then crucify
and you will die
unless you fight

take to the road and
learn the code

hack the system.
