Cat Called Half-Dead

 

there were mistakes made by a man sometimes
and turmoil in nursery rhymes
and forests lit up the sky
story of how a planet died
mistakes that were made by a man
lessons to learn tracedin the sand
burn to the oceans and over the sea
through heartland and straight into me

a fable called half dead
dream of ways to fly don't be misled
selfishness coiled around the feet
striving to conquer does it make you feel complete
if you don't understand forest becomes sand
understand harmonics at hand
invention fire spear
dehumanized and disappear
every now and then an idea comes along
sometimes the human intent just ends wrong
the light bulb ignites conquest map
take the world by the hand do we ever understand or take a dirt nap
take a dirt nap

black cat called half-dead
chasing poison red rats on a planet called dirt nap
take a dirt nap

earth will apply a backyard beating that's the way it goes
earth will reply by kicking us off while the desert grows
and we'll just tote our sore butts right back to our gold filled grave
and we'll just hide our ostrich heads beneath the world we pave
take a dirt nap
