"The World Ended And No One Noticed"

Look through stain glass windows
underneath the window pain
where insects breed and die in fear
this is limbo,
crazy limbo.

Through Burroughs of Purgatory
where the bad ones
meet there maker
sealed in a cardboard box
send there souls
to the ticket taker.

Desire burns like smallpox
the taste of week old socks
the flesh peels and dies
when bones skim trees and rocks

panic on the streets of Weston
some chav threw a brick through
rumberlows window
he stole a TV for the end of days
this is limbo,
crazy limbo.

Apartment blocks crumble
foundations waver when they stumble
A tangerine dream album
plays silently
in broken buildings and rubble
privately.

The lizards saw it first
then they saw me
the omen was in the locus
The world ended
and no one noticed.
