Big Cloud Passing

         

      Sand in the toes and the smell of the sea
      Sun fades out -- a chill in the chi
      Wind whips up, while spies ignite rabble
      And they say there's no such cabal

      Men behind curtains, but feel no regret
      The figurehead was a marionette
      And in the midst of this whole scene
      You wonder if it's all a dream

      As a man walks by and points to his head
      And says he'll miss you when he's dead
      In the mirror, what's that thing?
      Wisps of openness, restructuring

      Why the mirror, and what does it mean?
      There's a primate with a death machine
      I bet he's got a student loan
      There's no doubt, he's turned on his own

      Edge grows near, forces amassing
      You and I know, there's a big cloud passing.
