Let’s wake up early, shall we? We’ll race the sun to see who first appears Dew droplets on the grass and fog burns up Before our feckless self-indulgent peers Have even had the impetus to muster Enough spark to even start their day We must seize our pre-eminent position Lest interlopers misappropriate Inject themselves without our permission Shatter the mosaic of our ecstacy An automated army of invaders Violating what had just been you and me
Let’s walk hand in hand together, shall we? Down the middle of the stone cold pavement streets Wayward pebbles kicked o’er painted lines Deafening in silence underneath our feet It won’t be long until the mechanical monsters Will be roaring from their metallic slumber Piercing the dawn with halogen beams aglow The motorized ballet of roaring thunder Shakes the ground with urgency and chaos Under the guise of choreography Let’s dance our dance before the calm is fractured A denouement for our moonlight odyssey
Let’s sit on this park bench together, shall we? We’ll revel in each other whilst birds regale us with song A tranquility that will only come again in death Before the slavering hordes come rolling along The footfalls on the path will grow louder With the rolling percussion of a drum The leaves in the trees will dance from the vibration Our chests will tremble from the constant hum We’ll stand up and take our marching orders We’ll make haste like on our lives it will depend We’ll rush homeward to make our great escape Our solitude has reached a bitter end
Let’s climb back into bed together, shall we? And live carefree in our own blessed existence Never shall we leave here, never shall we part Despite the ferocity of their insistence The only sound that I wish to acknowledge The only sound that I wish to abide The only sound that I will fall in love with Is the sound that you make when I am inside In one final desperate search for affirmation In one last rebellious act of anarchy We will live our days with our bodies tangled In an Eden that is befitting you and me
