• Iron and Clay

    IRON AND CLAY

    The late night tram just passed
    Too intoxicated and too unaware that it was mine
    The good looking girl just catches a car
    But I am different kind
    Too fond of my precious freedom
    That big money would just buy
    And then destroy

    Too proud to take their toys
    For I was a different kind
    They said that I was one of the elect
    But I thought that was just one of their tricks
    To make me uncautious, weak and sick

    They are in their cars
    And I take my late night tram
    We had drinks together
    But I turned to be the other kind

    The vomit all over my clothes
    Won't even turn my nose
    For my wardrobe is cheap

    The iron will not mix with clay
    Though iron corrodes
    The clay is still too cheap

    But clay could still be turned into porcelain
    If they were willing
    But they were not

    I begun to count my time backwards
    To see the time
    They could have sold not

    The last stop
    I try to wake up some passengers
    But they thought I am one of the enemies
    There was no time nor the means to persuade them
    Or we would all end up going the next circle
    This is the rule of the city transport

    I walk all over the clay
    I sympathise and I dismay
    But they seem happy with their rut
    An enemy would I bee to tell them
    The only one it was not
