Danger Zone

Rocks on the road. Extraordinary load Probably meant to make this journey last Probably meant to hinder all this progress of man While forgetting what was once a plaster caste Plaster Caste around my legs and I can't move without my crutches Plaster Caste around my wrist, I can't even write my name Plaster Caste around this heart of mine, unfelt but working overtime I'd give three nickels for a dime, to find out whose to blame Prescriptions filled. Time just being killed Well I guess this drugstore counter's not my style I guess I shouldn't linger in this misty magic dome Clay feet attached to square ceramic tile Plaster Caste around my legs and I can't move without my crutches Plaster Caste around my wrist, I can't even write my name Plaster Caste around this heart of mine, unfelt but working overtime I'd give three nickels for a dime, to find out whose to blame Ah, but perhaps I don't believe this institution With its bureaucratic schemes and precedent Has an answer to this air and noise pollution And the clever way that money gets misspent So much to do. Catching the Asian flu And wondering when the pages start to turn Wondering when this scenery of dark maroon and gray Gets colored here with something more to learn Plaster Caste around my legs and I can't move without my crutches Plaster Caste around my wrist, I can't even write my name Plaster Caste around this heart of mine, unfelt but working overtime I'd give three nickels for a dime, to find out whose to blame I've seen rocks on the road.
