Don't For A Minute Believe

don't for a minute believe
any of this is real

don't for a moment think
the stars weren't stolen
for their skyscraper skies

don't for a minute believe
this is the beginning of a new day
the horizon breaking
under the climbing sun
is just a repeating cycle repeating
and repeating
and repeating

don't for a moment think
this is really happening
it's not really happening
none of this is really happening

don't for a minute believe
we won't fall   we won't fade
we won't blow away
we will be saved when
the electric lightbulb hum
forgets the tune
flicks the switch
and leaves us shaking
stuttering in the dark

just for a second i believed
as i marched downup the train
if i turned this page about
the letters   the words would all fall out
be scattered underfoot and lost
along with yesterday and
other precious forgotten things
between the doors
and the concrete platform
