I It would be a mistake For another snake To sneak like last time Through the bathroom floor Wary of any More scary things where One was too many And very in there Though swept with a broom Out of the bathroom And into a rhyme Through the kitchen door That snake but no more Now for heaven's sake II Right this way right they say and they Are getting pretty pushy about it So pure so sure the only way To go they know is right but I doubt it Because I went that way before The way it was but I got left behind The way it is fortunately Left to remember my humanity To find my way by humankind And not be trickled-down on anymore No more shenanigans nor tricks Or that passionate lack of compassion That cruelty back in fashion Of right this way right they say politics Getting pretty pushy about it They say right this way but I doubt it III After the fan turning All through the burning Bright blue day says goodnight Turns in unturningly Now somehow sounds right Through midnight blue to be Quite quiet tonight Stars resume their places Assuming the faces Of those loved and lost Like diamonds that cost Velvet blue to see In mind but out of sight Turning and returning Through the blue to me Tonight quite quietly Steven Curtis Lance
