THE END OF THE WORLD

DINOSAURS

Sometimes a man,

Ain't all he's supposed to be!

Sometimes we fall,

Can't count 1, 2, 3.

I beg your forgiveness,

To just let me be...

/////////////////////////

I saw a little girl die,

Crickets chirrupped quietly,

Cuz no one knew her name.

I felt the pain just the same.

And I write this for you,

Cuz..well cuz,

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Sometimes a man

Ain't all he's stacked up to be!

Sometimes we fail,

Can't count 1 to 3.

Bless me Lord,

I just can't see.

/////////////////////////

The world is dying,

Bees are mostlygone,

Sunshine beckons me,

But it's all but death, ya see.

Black Betty hymnal rocks quietly in my head,

Whilst I reach for my final beer..cuz..hell, cuz

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Sometimes a man,

He ain't cut out to be,

Strong when he's alone!

Madly counting 1, 2, 3.

Comfort me in your prayer,

My soul no longer wants to be.

////////////////////////////

The sun beats down on me,

I feel the clown laugh in glee,

For there's no more shade or tree..

I mumble 1 to 3,

The oceans are gone

Nothing left you see!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Sometimes men,

They just aren't meant to be,

Dinosaurs...
