midnight
it is midnight, dark outside. i could sleep quietly outside, i could sleep quietly inside. i could step quietly outside and go walking down the street. i could talk to the street, for christ's sweet sake, i could fuck the street. nobody would notice nor care. it is midnight and three minutes, dark outside. i could sing quietly outside, i could sing quietly inside. and wake up my poor family? no, i could just step quietly outside and creep down to the beach, and sing the seagulls lullabies, get caught by the police. it is midnight and seven minutes, dark outside. i could die quietly inside, i could die quietly outside. i could slip away outside and jump from the elm tree. those that don't have dutch elm disease and have already died, quietly, outside.
