There’s an abyss tearing through the universe
Our wobbly planet now rotates in reverse
In the vortex, swirling energy hangs in the air
A pulse flashes up my body, straightening my hair
That sucking sound signals rising disorder
Time to exit ahead of the new world order
A confused friend watches the calamity spin
Like the old days of sobering up in East Berlin
Overhead a vast conflagration is brewing
Narrowing escape choices worth pursuing
Shuffling the life cards in the poker deck
The joker ponders heading on a new trek
Sensing a defeat I fold my empty hand
Taking my place as a member of the band
I play by ear instead of reading the charts
In this drama there are many moving parts
Grinding the clutch, stuck in first gear
Leaping from the ditch and ramming a deer
Checking the damage and finding my backbone
Nothing like a blind leap into the unknown
Grabbing adventure, hanging on by the ears
Digging the spurs before my courage disappears
Pacing like a coach with the game on the line
Racing from the shadows toward the warm sunshine
The earth begins shifting beneath my feet
I may had landed on the opposite street
None of this seems to make much sense
My head is hurting, the brain fog is dense
Without the tinfoil this is mind control
Take a trip with me inside the wormhole
I wish you peace and safe travels
Before the whole shithouse unravels
