I hear footsteps in the hall
The phone keeps ringing, but nobody calls

I light a cigarette
Then I see 3 already burning in the ashtray

I see a pigeon on the window sill,
He starts to fly away
I run towards him and beg him to stay

I wake to a preacher on TV,
Telling me to find the righteous path
So I get down on my knees to pray
Then I begin to laugh

I light another cigarette
and see 4 already burning in the ashtray

I see a mouse in the corner, he runs
I ask him to stay and play

I open the shade and stare out into the pitch black
My heart races like it will jump from my chest
So I quickly snap the shade back

I hear kids running on the stairs,
I swing open the door
But there’s no one there

I light another cigarette, But cant find my ashtray
I sat it on the couch and that’s where it should stay

Its too bright in here, so I turn out the light
But the lamp has no bulb
I’m so hot now , I take off my clothes

That’s all I remember now
Darkness, then light
Then I’m standing here on a cloud..
