The Human Menagerie

Come on Baby for the midnight dance

Some kind of cosmic romance

Your eyes tell me that you're in a trance

Don't take this as a frivolous advance,

The sea is parting as we speak

Overflowing with rage and mystique

Even in this world so cold and bleak

Still assessable to those who seek,

The iron fists of the collectivist state

Rusting beneath the waves will be its fate

Karma ensures its checkmate

The spirits of the dead await,

                                                  Come on baby step out on a limb

Our chances might seem a bit slim

Looking out on a world so grim

The blood of victims is full to the brim,

Come on Baby walk down this hall

The book of knowledge says it all

Sometimes we are forced to crawl

We must take the initiative to stand tall,

The doors of perception seem too small

Inside you'll find a full-fledged squall

Where conflicting ideologies brawl

Trying to avoid their eventual downfall,

Come on Baby to the altered state

A magical powder on your plate

An over dose might twist your fate

As you struggle with your love and hate,

The mob pushes through the floodgates

While the naked emperor awaits

The purge will wipe a clean slate

But the fools will likely take the bait,

No time to consult with history

All of its death and misery

Tip your hat to the human menagerie

That fragile crystal gallery.
