Bright White

They said I was garrulous

As I walked down the street

Carnival crowd walking one way

Dancing like a salmon in a stream

Slaloming the other way.

I never knew I was uptight

Thought my world was dark-lite

Turns out you were quite right -

This hangover's bright white.

They said we're cactus nonsense

Cosa Nostradamus, 

Shuffling fluff in the nothing

Dancing round a wedding ring 

Marching up the other way.

Never thought I was uptight

Thought my night was daylight

Turns round, you were dead right

This life's heading bright white.
