Link Arms

Eaten if left alone

They'll hold a thumb under their nose

And sniff them out

So, link arms and stay close

Frozen and afraid, slower now

And not as a fresh a taste

So, link arms and stay close

Zooms in and sprints backwards

While speaking in reverse

Either that, or they're all dancing past

As the lights get low

Around the pulse and it gets colder still

A collection of leaflets

Holding a thought together

Pages start to split

Words move from a language you thought was understood

But held together in front of mirrors

A distance grows

I go deeper into debt by paying in advance

It's just a shadow that I need to keep my eye on

Zooms in and sprints backwards

While speaking in reverse

Either that, or they're all dancing past

As the lights get low

Around the pulse and it gets colder still
