Night Flower

A tired old clown
In the big end of town
Take one last look
The sun is going down

I never noticed things
But now I see it all
The roar of the planets
The silence 'round this song

Scratched into the surface
Midnight surely coming
Metal on soft metal
Sliding, grinding, humming

This shambles of a city
Stumbles to its knees
Desecrates the evening
And falls into the sea
