All nerve endings shut down.
Stiff lipped at the countdown.
There's nothing left inside,
In a basket at the bottom of the guillotine
Is where the sailor died.
And when the ax-blade bit his neck,
"Set me free" is all he said.
There's nothing left to hide.
Stitched each instant by the firing electron beam
Let the camera man decide.
When the on-air light turned red,
"Cut Away" is all he said.
She dropped her coffee cup,
And when the cup hit the ground
The whole damn house came stumbling down.
From this point on I'm unsettling.
In Brooklyn we stay home.
