Black Castles

In the street, they're digging holes and in the sinks
They're swilling coal-tar, baby. Feathers stuck on
Poles. They're waiting for the gas man (goo-goo-
Ga-chew!) tube train claims it's fifteenth victim of an
Average week. Ae tripped. a family man with no
Ambition, meek as plastic tulips. He made it to page
53, They wrapped him round a fish and threw him
In the stew (goo-goo-ga-chew.) tuesday, it rained
Glue balls; wednesday morning was the smog.
They moved in on the west side--rubber masks
On. They torched the whole damn lot. the people
Died; they fenced it off. But still te peepos watch
From the top floor of the euro tower. Round and
Round, 12 hours. Fountains. fillet steak, a waiter with
A bow-tie. Oress it, squeeze it, and it spits. oh
Cologne! We smell ok, the o-zone's safe, we
Keep things underground. The sound we hear is
Sweet soul music to the tannoy. Chew your gum and
Close your eyes and nothing can annoy you.
