victim of the world

 

even a little bottle conspires

it’s green through the glass and darkly

 

I’m falling over with it

falling all the way around

 

the world and it was done to me

climb into climb out of day and night

 

can’t hear you, let me say it again

I hide behind a piano, a car

 

I’m one of those ones day gets up without

don’t blame me, I live in a bottle

 

swim in a bong, I swallow, take in

it’s not so simple, you don’t understand

 

you forget where you are

where you are forgets

 

of course it’s an art to be, to be me

all hearts broken, all bets off

 

I’m the eggshell one, let’s party

you’re like a great dark cloud

 

you’re raining on my party again

always do it, don’t you?

 

say that I’ve said that already?

I’m just coming to the point

 

it’s like the sea, exciting, how we

bob about  … can do no wrong

 

I’m wronged … yes, there are things

I ought … I forget … I know that

 

time is running out … you’re my

behover’s witness… that’s what

 

I’m coming to you through a hole

in the brain … we’re expanding

 

operations there … everything’s

going to fall out soon

 

how will they speak of me gone

as must be?   will it be

 

‘victim of the world’ was?   forget

everything that could

 

there, but for the grace

where the little gods go

 

my back is what they talk behind

it’s what’s happening right now

 

they all find it hard to forgive

how at my brink – catastrophe

 

the world was a big mistake

I know I’m difficult and worry

 

that I worry them… it’s my party

I’m the jinnee, that’s who!

 

bet I can’t squeeze back in there

and stopper me, won’t you?

 

I’m not coming out
