Boom crash
the world went flat,
the sky grew dark and my heart went black
I stood there silent like a stone
All my happiness and joy
stood there like broken toys
across my messy room
Bang clank,
three am,
dogs are barking at the window pane
wife said “baby better look outside.”
Then I slipped into outer space
stood there fighting with a pillow case
wife said “baby wake up it’s all right.”
But I thought I saw a scarecrow in the backyard
it didn’t say a word but it gave me quite a shock
I thought for awhile
that I could make it smile
but I guess were not that far apart
I went to the Doctor,
I said something’s wrong
She said “boy there is something here I can’t put my finger on.”
She sold me placebo
and as she walked me to the door
she said “boy don’t watch those Woody Allen films no more.”
