‘Catch me I’m falling.
Flying head first into fate
Catch me I’m
– falling’
You sing from your
seat
above
us
all.
(The higher you climb,
The harder you fall.)
King of the people;
God of the sun
You were everything we had
(They say you were mad,
They say you were mad.)
You rescued us from death
(with malice toward none) You gave us life’s breath
God of the sun
(You pulled out the gun,
You pulled out the gun.)
‘Catch me I&
Protector of the people,
Riches of the lands,
But you turn old and feeble
When we need the help of your hands.
Riches of the lands,
Power of the people,
But we’re not rich and grand
And you’re much more regal.
Take what is ours.
Take what we’ve saved.
You’re not one to cower.
Through the streets we’ve paved
Count your coins
Your women and toys.
Number your misery
Your lies and your trickery.
Don’t sweat, don’t fret.
It’s really not a shame.
You know you can let
Someone else take the blame.

Your smile is the light That (14, 8)
Your smile is the light
That filters through the curtains
On a Sunday afternoon—
The color of bananas.
Your laughter is hope
And everything I’ll need or want
For as long as I live.
(As long as you’ll let me live.)
Your eyes are flowers,
Blooming in the warm spring sun.
When you smile, they bloom,
Into shades of monstrosity.
As long as I don’t
Run out of lame jokes to tell
Or time to love you,
Or tears to shed,
As long as we live
Your laughter will be my cure
For every sickness
You’ll ever cause.
I’ll kiss your tears away
I’ll tread through fire and flame
Through ice and cold storms
