HUG A TREE

School's out today,
since you no longer love me.
The squirrels don't want to play,
since you no longer love me.
And the buses and the taxi cars
are sitting in a dark garage,
not a single person on the street.
I'll hug a tree to ensure I don't get lost.
When you find the world has stopped
here's where I'll be.
Clocks are paralized,
since you no longer love me.
And the sun don't want to rise,
since you no longer love me.
Birds say they don't want to sing,
radio don't say a thing,
emergency broadcasting on TV.
I'll hug a tree to ensure I don't get lost.
When you find the world has stopped
here's where I'll be.
And like a cat upon your chest,
I'll kneed out a place to rest.
Glaciers kept their form, since you no longer love me.
There's no honking of the horns,
since you no longer love me.
And there's no-one being born,
since you no longer love me.
And the cliched moon up in the sky
is a slanted jack-o-lantern smile
(he must have missed the news today)
I'll hug a tree, sure to never wander off.
When you find the world has stopped
here's where I'll be.
