Me, a simple girl with

Uncomplicated values

You, a member of the elite where

Money

Talks

And those without are not welcome

Where riches rule

And families have no

Time

For simple girls like me

I see you across the room

You see me

You know I am drawn to you

I think you are drawn to me

I can’t move

I can’t not move

Is it fear of rejection?

Or

Brain Damage

I can’t

Breathe (in the air)

Can only breathe in your aura

It’s overwhelming

Blinding

Like an

Eclipse

You smile

You

Speak To Me

You ask what’s the colour of my rainbow

I tell you it can be

Any Colour You Like

You laugh

You take my hand and say

Let’s spread our wings of passion

and fly away

Let’s go

On the Run

To a

Great Gig in the Sky

Where there’ll be no more

Us and Them

Just you and me

Alone together, soaring forever

On

The Dark Side of the Moon

**************

Pink Floyd's Us and Them from Dark Side of The Moon
