DON’T LIE TO ME BUT IF YOU MUST

Make sure it’s worth the risk of losing the love of your life when you take on the assignment
If you choose to accept it, you will be well compensated without worry for fame heaven sent
Chances are slim and none this isn’t just a nightmare, dream within a dream, without weight
It doesn’t matter a bit if you honor the ethics of civilization or that you deduce a Gomer‘s fate.
Hockey puck flyin’ past the blue line for an icing call, so the defense turns to an offensive role
Reverse skating and on defense going backward at the netted target, screening the goal hole
Style and grace on blades of steel, on a wooden stick of backup pine to slap shots, high stick
Checkin’ the bodies up against the count of the command, all’s well and counting down quick.
There’s feathers on the ground but more still on the Eagle flyin’ above to the nest, high or low
On a peak of a mountain, Big Mouth open wide like a gaping Mariana Trench rockin’ below
In some kind of a stranglehold on the culture’s voice, a muffler stops the signals to choke it
Air to breathe and gas to burn, gravity to churn, make the world turn, fly around, oval orbit.
You will, they will, we all will do what e’er needs to be done before we die, including nothing
To know that there is nothing that anyone can do about anything, is to know the truth well
Without compromise, from the thing itself, the matter, cell by cell of the body and soul ring
DNA and RNA blocks to form the matter, to shape and force it’s being to become, all #Hell.
