Asleepers Union

You know who built this house and
You know who will tear it down
It broke the backs of the trees in the forest
It brought the rats to their knees in the city
You thought you were safe
You thought you were strong
A kiss and a cough
Now everyone’s gone
The anchor’s away
And the co-host's in crisis
The mice they will play
While the loin’s in stasis
Everyone prays that the facts are to blame
When the T.V. goes off
The make-up remains
Tinnitus sets in
The night is so young
But we’re waiting for him
The witness is singing
But we won’t let her win
This suit fits much too tight
Still I’ll wear it on my wedding night
I’m in over my head in a shallow waterbed
