Like a grain of sugarcane Trapped inside a cube I wait for my escape To disappear, be dissolute So patiently I wait, all I ever do is wait Nothing else to do but wait and whistle out this tune Like the laces in my shoes Tangled up in knots and loops All the tassles tightly tied Far too tort to wriggle loose So patiently I wait, all I ever do is wait Nothing else to do but wait and whistle out this tune Like a seed inside a fruit My companions deaf and mute I await to hear the claws Tear the padding from the walls So patiently I wait, all I ever do is wait Nothing else to do but wait and whistle out this tune Like a bowling pin i sit And watch the rolling cannons miss As I anticipate the blow That amputates me from my soul. So patiently I wait, all I ever do is wait Nothing else to do but wait and whistle out this tune
