Ants Marching

Ants Marching


He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth
bite to eat
and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends
the week begins
She thinks,
we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well
his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table
and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box
until a quieter time
Lights down,
you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars
and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box
until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
