Surrounded by Our Dead

← Previous Removed Entry | Next Removed Entry →

It’s not groovy at all
If Bishop Usher
Sent his angry angry ghost
As a haunter and husher

And the shambling thing
That I met outside
Before the Bishop got to him
He was just some guy.

It’s not groovy at all
If it was Stalin’s brain.
Cut past Hitler in line
So now he’s walking again.

And it isn’t just them
I am always opposed
To waking up the dead
If it’s dead like those.

It’s groovy overall
If it’s, say, the King
That’s a message of hope
And a happier thing.

If the shambling thing
Looked up and he said
“I’m a hunka hunka King
And I’m not that dead.”

It’s a message of hope
And a message of sorrow
If he’s Elvis today
And he’s Stalin tomorrow.
