A Minute Ago

The trees are reclining

From carrying the wind

the road is all bothered

by its own wrinkled skin

The world is strange

Strange old place

You're dealt the cards

And play the ace

I’m a little taller

Than a minute ago

Are we big enough

We’ll never know

The radio’s gone quiet

And the job is gone

The mall is on fire

The race is on

My luck is changing

It’s hard to know

The lottery numbers

Are bound to show

I’m a little taller

Than a minute ago

Are we big enough

We’ll never know

The burner is down

And the street's quiet

No one around

To share a light

Your shoes are growing

Growing souls

Your sister is shrinking

She left with the mole

I’m a little taller

Than a minute ago

A minute ago

A minute ago

A minute ago

A minute ago
