Hands clasp and the madman bends, another honor from the social elite,those trying worms
His hair has fallen out, but they never notice
Promises met and we all have been met well
all friends here in common shadows with no pretense

Everyone comes and comes again
for his razor mind spells ,only he can bend
Makes you cool millions,
only half you'll ever spend
Make up your mind before its made up for you,
He is tired and moody and sick of foolish impulse

nO One know just what he does in his spare time
probably sits in the attic,with his little black book crossing out names with his dirty fish hook
his eyes roll white, he's going to come up spades
Its going to be one of those dark mysterious days

we all must hold him, hold him down
its just a seizure, its just power and we always get what we want, its almost over yet this whole damned room will soon cave in to all this pressure
Protect all your heads and project all your needs

Now is not the time for answers
The madman is safe, he will come and he will leave
       with little warning or advancement
Take the smile off your face; Be prepared to leave the human race, Encourage! Reap! Bend

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

Kind of like reading a short story or a novel; action filled, descriptive, intense, and leaves one guessing at the end. Liked it. -Bob
