Flip a Coin
(2011)
From the bottom of a wishing well
I crossed the line, broke a barrier
Tumbling down came quite a brick wall,
Bludgeons to the icy calm
Like secrets to the untrained ear
They broke away, they fell apart
Onlookers ooed and ahed
What a magnificent feat!
And all the kings and queens did sing
At their welcoming feast,
They did rejoice!
Then came the wreaking ball
Tattered ruins became the shops
I remember it well, the ones that sold satin
And the sweet shops I used to wander
But that’s what happens when they flip a coin!
And you don’t have a say in heads or tails
Oh, never did I think he would flip
Like those coins you use to make decisions
The ones you throw in wishing wells
I became a wish tossed in the water
And I was stuck there
Gazing at the mass destruction
O, but as I was saying things do flip
And instead of a wish, like a shooting star
I became a meteor plummeting down
Onto a fine city like the one we built
