I WENT SHOPPING
ON THIS MOUNTAIN
NAMED ROCKING
AND I ROCKED
SO I KNOCKED

AND THE KNOCK
BROUGHT ME IN
TO THIS
ENCHANTED LAND
OF HOPE
AND DREAMS

A PLACE WHERE
I COULD LEAP
AND DO
THE OCCASIONAL SPIN
FALL ONCE
IN A WHILE
AND BREAK
MY CHIN

OR RATHER
JUST REST
SITTING DOWN
 LIKE AN
OLD PERSON
PLAYING CHESS

REST ASSURE
THIS PEACE
I DID NOT
ENJOY FOR LONG
FOR A BIG  YARD SALE
OF DESPAIR
AND SUCCESS
CAME ALONG
LOUSY AND NOISY
MADE QUITE THE MESS
IT REALLY FELT
LIKE TOO MUCH EXCESS
AND AS THE BELL
WENT GONG
I REALIZED
MY FIRST HUNCH
WAS ALL WRONG
THE LIE FLOATED
COLD BENEATH
THE SHINY BRIDGE
WHERE THE BIZARRE
WERE BEING HOLD

NO BUYING NOR SELLING
FOR YOU
EVERY ITEM IS SOLD
ONE OF A KIND
HIGHLY EXPENSIVE STUFF
LET YOUR EYES
WASH WITH VISION
THE LACK
OF YOUR FIRST
INSTINCT TO TOUCH


NOW
THIS WAS TOO MUCH
AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
TO LEAVE
THIS PLACE
I MUST

THE NAME
IS ALL
WRONG
IT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN
ROCK IN
RATHER THAN
JUST DRIFTING
ALONE

I CAN HEAR
IN THE DISTANT
A SWEET SYMPHONY

THE SOUND
OF THE CLEAR FACTS
FACTS OF LIFE
NOT THE TIME
NEITHER THE
PLACE
WERE WILLING
TO EMBRACE
SUCH AN
EXTREME WAY
OF THINKING
WHERE AT THE
ABOVE MOUNTAIN
IT WAS
SOLD OUT
IT WAS
OUT OF FASHION
