We took our seats ahead of the show Confections and treats all ready to go It was a grand old sight - parted curtains of white A mesmeric scene projected on the screen A proud man driven in a black Cadillac Cars at the front, cops at the back He smiled with a wave of his generous hand Thunder shook across the land His head nodded forward then violently back Crack and crack upon crack and crack A crimson dream escaped from his skull We all fell silent we all felt null Curtains closed, the Usher spake No need for alarm, you shan't come to harm He sprinkled his sleeping dust across our eyes A fitful lullaby was our prize While we were sleeping it grew and grew Tendrils creeping through and through The black mass spreading here and there Still we kept on sleeping without a care T'was a bright fresh day in Appleton Towers of grey stood in the sun A bult struck fast from Jerusalem Buildings shook, crumbled like crumbs A Rubicon of blood wormed its way Throughout the night and throughout the day The town crier howled it was the hordes Heathen whores, Allah's Lords T'was not polite to disbelieve Though something shook up his sleeve The magician waved, t'was a brilliant show Now our eyes are heavy ... time to go While we were sleeping it grew and grew Tendrils creeping through and through The black mass spreading here and there Still we kept on sleeping without a care
