No need to panic

No need to panic

There will be peace

In our time

Believe me

Sing unburdened

Sing my soul

I am only dreaming

Of sleeping

As the tanks roll by

Where are the lions

In winter

When the flowers

On sale are plastic

And the powder

Is still lying dry

In the barrel

Dance for nothing

But the memory

It is a long road

Home

When the wind blows

Ash floats

As pretty as snowflakes

See how they lie

Piling in corners

Dirt grey drifts.

Shuffle the cards

Aces are high

A royal flush

Will see the bank break

Take a trip

To where the sun shines

It is the only way

To beat the fall out

Of high rollers

Their tsunami

Is gathering pace

Too many players

At the top table

Carry an Ace

Up their sleeves

And are not afraid

To use it.
