What Happens

A knock at the door
I'm asleep on the floor
Knock again and I'll sleep no more

The sun brought the day
A reason to stay
I say goodbye as my dreams drift away

You fall on your face
With all your grace
Don't look now, but we've lost the race

The roads are on fire
I'm on the high wire
Don't touch me again or I'll eat your desire

I've got a soul in a can
By a broken crayon
Then I turned my back and ran

Broken eggshells on the ground
Broken with a shiney sound
You look for things you've never found

When you find them there they are
Fallen from a falling star
Fallen fast and fallen far

It's not what you thought
You've been mistaught
From a grave it's been wrought

Dark as night
On heaven's flight
Soars the good and the right

They beg for love
And look for a dove
They want to be the sky above

Commentary by Author

This poem really has no meaning at all.  Everything in it is completely ficticous.  Before writing it, I was listening to one of Beck's earlier CDs, and I beleive this poem is much in the same style as many of his lyrics.
