The Song Of The Quarter-time Siren (car Battery) by Tism
The Song Of The Quarter-time Siren (car Battery) lyrics
Someone�s left their lights on in the car park of love.
Like silent photosynthesis, drawn by sun above,
The parkers� feeble brightness drains and fades lower.
When the driver returns, she won�t even kick o�er.
Unbeknownst and ignorant; in supermarts; at sport;
In offices and restaurants; in shirt and tie or shorts;
Happy; angry; melancholy at wasted time and days �
Drivers, we, go live our lives, whilst the power fades.
Announcers once, at football games, in untrained Ocker
tone
Not the slick or supercilious now at the microphone),
Would tell �Rego so and so, your lights have been left
on.�
We all would laugh in careless glee. Those days now have
gone.
Now it�s advertisements, and pop videos will whine �
We can�t afford the beauty of a silent quarter time! �
So, returning to our cars, just like lives and years,
We turn the key, only to find the love has disappeared.
