Rodents

Dancing with the rabble down the same old route
When the flashes lit the view
Took a little turn until I saw the truth
Blanketed in blue
Cradling conviction when I got no clue
As I try to look away
While you’re frozen the pavement in the bitter truce
That the earth and air have made

Who the hell are you to kill my buzz today?
When I’m running like a rodent in a wretched maze

Flowers sang the chorus by the busy road
As the evening came
Few can remember why the traffic slowed
And who cares, either way?
So I bow to my ambition as I hide my grief
To keep my belly fed
I’ve taken time to cater to my every need
But no time to mourn the dead

Who the hell are you to kill my buzz today?
When I’m running like a rodent in a wretched maze
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze

Now I’m trying to deny how much I love the race
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze

And I’m wondering how soon until your image fades
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze
