There, petrified and forgotten Like the salt woman of Sodom The vines slowly grow As they swallow her whole And yet she makes no effort to stop them Til a silhouette's all that is left A shadow completely bereft Of the possession Of any expression That anyone there can detect The man who's the man in the moon Lives alone in an unadorned room He may be away For the rest of the day But be sure that he's coming back soon And the tiniest dagger of light Is curved as the poisonous bite Of the snake in the grass By the side of the path But engraved in the mantle of night All the days have passed You're the last to stand There's no one left to hold you back And so you wait and you pray for a soul To appear and then you can both pretend It's all worked out, he'll understand He's here to serve and you'll rule 'til the end The broken up bottles across The ground where you casually toss Them to their death While you carefully step To avoid all the chaos you've caused The slivers of green glass and brown They glint like insects all around Fragments of wings And antennas and things Though the species will never be found And he slipped away on the wind Through the grass on the hill, tall and thin Away towards the sea Past the waves and the beach Farther still than he ever had been And after the passing of days He met a familiar face On the welcoming sand Of a faraway land Like he'd always been part of that place All the days have passed You're the last to stand There's no one left to hold you back And so you wait and you pray for a soul To appear and then you can both pretend It's all worked out, he'll understand He's here to serve and you'll rule 'til the end All the days have passed You're the last to stand There's no one left to hold you back And so you wait and you pray for a soul To appear and then you can both pretend It's all worked out, he'll understand He's here to serve and you'll rule 'til the end
