Metal Squid

Keep swimming

World gets junk and keeps spinning

What you thunk?

Keep grinning

Metal Squid

Keep swimming

Sky gets rust

Sunsets and dust

Metal heaps of nothing

Bones stick up from still water, bubbling

You’re just an abomination

Metal pointing, rolling

Lopsided

Misfire from a gun

Not sighted

Somehow got spotlighted

Nah it's not...

Nah, I’m not fighting

Metal Squid: he’s not fighting

Ya got a death wish?

Ya got left in the wasteland

No meals left

Taste sand

No empathy left

No, not from where they stand

Metal Squid

Keep swimming

World gets drunk and keeps spinning

What you thunk?

Keep grinning

Metal Squid

Keep swimming

Daylight drags like cigarettes

“Hey, kids! Come get a swig!”

But then he hid the rеst

Metal Squid

With a grin

To invite you

And a nice littlе poem to recite, too

Where skyscrapers

Flake away

And carry in the wind

And a single note’s played

On a one-stringed violin

Metal Squid

Keep swimming

World gets drunk and keeps spinning

What you thunk?

Keep grinning

Metal Squid

Keep swimming
