Covid-19 quarantine track 6. Originally by Brickwall Monty.

lyrics

Rocks slip from my toes
They seem so small when they hit the floor
A force of wind hits harder
Could they have finally shut the door?

They twist the leather tighter
His left eye starts to twitch
Their minds up in the clouds
His soul down in a ditch

Wrap a collegial ribbon
Around the tan oak tree
The clouded air has a grip on his throat
Just leave the rest to me

Standing on his own gave him no answers
So he lie prone on the earth
"What a twisted sin, to be alive. I want to crawl back to birth."

Return him to the compost
His soul will sail afar
His mind will reunite with soil
As his achievements lower the bar

Jagged leaves drift aimlessly
Through a sky of vapid gray
The hatches beneath the dirt open up
And breathe in his father's dismay

Children rust
Marrow dries
No more bells

An aged agrotis, too tired to chase the light
Waste not the satin case, let him be carried with the night
His rags of less value than Som, now mere plumes of kerosene
His withdrawal from this mortal coil, a fading of silver screen
