Changes

the lonesome organ grinder tries

the effervescent elephant sighs

the picture perfect bubble pops

the picture has too many stops

and all you got me were these

lousy crocodile ears on the rocks


the piano man will sing for you tonight

his famous blue raincoat

hung on his head

in a street in Belfast, where

you too, could be famously kind

if you could only read my mind


I want my Eminem, or else

we could be in trouble —

for boys, they just want to have fun

time, after time, tearing down the walls

to find anybody who is in there 

lost in space or rock formations


and who is way out, playing the air guitar,

some Sergeant or Major

riffing on G major, alone

in a tin can they call home

drifing towards the Sun

here it comes, out of the silent planet


afraid to shoot strangers

afraid to shoot angels

I believe in changes instead

waking up in the morning

and going through changes

a journey through the universe ablaze


with changes
