Penny Dreadfuls

Don't change

slip through the dust

as the bus

pulls away from where the age of the child starts

I've got a comic in the middle

and the sands set

the stories will shape this ship

and offer you

so gather round

just four more stops again

we'll reach our teachers

calling at the end

expect that foulest call

doubt is not as lovely

I see the driver in the glass

this car will never pass

while they're standing

there's no standing

the five year olds eat their fruit

soiled in the seats

when attention

and short attention spans

the boy who sweats in his glass

his tension part

of a precept

who's calling where's my babydoll

Larry the fuck

just lost all his teeth

to a cavity

in the basement

(aaa hoooooo x 2)

pick a place and sit alone

too fast to fret the courses

and who'll fuck the likes of race

hold up there?

and when then they finally fall

her eyes are sorry for

but what are we waiting for

way uptight

In fast cars

just always waiting for

and watch the paintings through

the bells are clock twister

soldiers in their boldness

the bully grabs at my back

pushes too fast

for the pain goes

in pain now

the driver pushes the gas

escapes kinda fast

so he spins back

got his attention now

hit the brakes if we slide

and his head hits the side

and he screams out

creeps out "i'll take you on"

then he grabs me in dreadfuls

and the looks on his chestfuls

and my head thinks

no match son

and then there's the stop

and Sarah climbs in

she says

Tommy

there's a hole in Tim

he laughs in his place

she spits in his face

she says "Tommy

you leave my boy alone

everybody came down just to see me leaving

baby take my hand away can't you see i'm happy

when the story's mine I think I'll tell it different

it's a shame to hear the sound

when the penny hit the ground

and i want to go back home

when does this bus leave?"
