Like a turtle on a comet.

In the centre 

Of a prudi

Stone dropped 

Silence unattainable 

Plip plop 

Ripples flip 

Like a turtle 

Turn and rip 

Wet and curly 

Can you hear me lover

I'm the comet 

On your tram 

All the splashes 

came and went 

According to the blueprint 

According to the man 

We became tired 

Tired eyes/Tired legs 

Tired minds 

Tired perpetual emotion 

Tired of thrills

Tired of eternity 

We became tired of London 

Tired of indefatigability

Tired of giving

Tired of the wife 

Tired of modernity 

Tired of life 

Pond life 

Half life 

Trouble 'n' 

Demi monde 

Pouring over the ridge 

Of the universe 

Like bath water 

Down the plug hole of oblivion 

Soap suds pop 

In the u/bend of annihilation 

Those are detergents 

At the end of time 

See how they plip

See how they plop

Like a turtle

on a comet.
