Ten men armed to the teeth
You're menacing
They close in and you feel
The adrenaline

One knocked cold by a jab of your shield
The other impaled by the sword that you wield

Two men charge either side
You break them

5 men come in a row
You're strengthening
They close in
And you feel the adrenaline
One lunge one spear
One catch
He's near
come here,
no fear

And the crowd cheers

Maaaarv, Marv, Marv, Marv
Maaaarv, Marv, Marv, Marv.
Marv, Marv, Marv, Marv, Marv, Marv

Another dead man
Ten more lunges miss
Blood sprays when a right hook hits
One flung like rag doll
Decorates the spikes on the wall
You don't stall
You make the rest fall

No one lives
You're bruised and your nicked
Your great chest heaves
You breath in the crowd and leave
For home
You're never alone
Except for nancy
she's your queen
she's your queen
And this is your century

Let's go to meadows
through fields of yellow
Casting shadows.

The bear was in the shed
hidden from us,
was fed before bed
without a fuss.

Tuesday, it was me
who crossed the garden,
saw the bear, the bear saw me,
I ran home screaming.

It's the killer baloo.

Mostly shame stopped me from
crying, telling anyone
about the bear that's locked away.
Too young to know what to say.

Then one night at feeding time,
it was cold and there was wine,
someone forgot to lock the door and
left the bear wanting some more.

It's the killer baloo.

The bear broke free
and ate the family.
Asleep in our beds
it ripped off our heads.

It's the killer baloo.

You run your
fingers tips
gently
over the
raised and
scarred skin
of the memory
molding
me

and we agree
our eyes will
orbit
our lives
until we feel
the calm of love.

I'd hold you
For a minute
In silence
Hearing all the
Sentence
Between us,
Signing contracts
For our futures
Finding love in secret,
Finding hope in seasons,
Forward motions,
Breathing,
Picking up the pieces,
Falling with a meaning
And I'd do it again.

I'd find you
At your desk in heaven,
Going through paper mountains,

I'd invite you to climb
All of the way up
To find love in secret
And hope in seasons,
Forward motions,
Breathing
Picking up the pieces,
Falling with a meaning
And I'd do it again.

I fell for you like leaves do,
I bent for you like knees do,
What could I do
But leave you.

Plans of mice and men, end,
And we lose our way,
And it hurts to care,
Picking stars from the air.

I played with you,
I hid from you,
I'll see you
Dreaming.

I'm like that puddle in the shade
that's afraid to let the sun dry me up.

I force walkers to play
hopscotch as they
trudge past.

But I know the sun will find me
and glare until there's
nothing left to step in.
