saw them in the street
stamping on the concrete
eyes fixed on their homes
though there was no cause for their reproach
we cussed out the firemen
cussed out the neighbours
cussed out anyone who would hear
oh, it comes and it goes but its never far
oh, it's grey and it goes and it knows that i'm not gonna tire
coz i have to keep finding strength within me to keep going
they're not like us
and it'll eat them alive
so just keep it up and try not to meet their eyes
i saw them as i dreamed of a wet red tide
they saw me as i was swallowed whole in silk
great and terrible was the sight
though there was no cause for their reproach,
i was wreathed in grey again
and lightning crackled up and down my wary skin.
