State Sought...nothing thought

State sought

Nothing thought

Another command made in joint

From a corporate headquarters in the lower abyss

Onto the grill floor going down

Feeling like a kiddy clown

Walked into the lost and found

Have you seen my baby...is she around?

Five and dime...cigarette stained

Ate meringue and it was lame

Ferris Fain and Johnny Same

Both remember those spending days

Of pulp and granite

Coal and tar

When your fixed paycheck could buy a car

Pain and jealousy in times of war

Glad we're over nineteen eighty four

Hey pretty girl looking at me

Look in my eyes and what do you see?

I'm on a ship in a raging sea

And I'm crying out but you can't hear me

Just like it is in life

You work all day to play at night

I think we've both been here before

Hesitant to open heavens door

What's inside

That we hide.
