I'm saying "yes sir, yes ma'am"
Until I'm alone, empty and sleepy
Ready to be delivered tomorrow
And all the things coming together outside
Waiting for the day, and then the night
The leaves staggering where the wind sends them
Newspaper pages being written
Pesticides being dumped into rivers
The wars being fought
The babies crying
Drunks babbling legally useless statements
Everything is dance
And now I dance with my shadow
I turn my body into drums
Until the music changes.
