Tumbledown

Tumbledown life and times
We got the 21st century blues
Crawling on out
Sliding on in
We gonna jump and jive
To the electric pulse
Of the world
Thrumming at our greedy
Little fingertips
With blue-white sparks
Popping from our electrode eyes

Information age
Traffic rage
The whole damn country's a gilded cage
And we keep singing our song
Going along
To the drumbeats of the
Tumbledown life and times



A quality of ignorance,
Self-deception may be
Necessary to the poet's survival


-Jim Morrison
