More from ~Alienette

Up on the rooftopsUp on the rooftops

I use to see them from time to time
Up on the roof tops
Chimney sweepers and thatchers
And the odd cable guy
Walking around up there
Like we walk the streets
Never bothered by the heights
But stopping for a smoke
With heaven as backdrop
And just a coin to rest the feet on
Seems like a worryless life
Not being scared of heights
Were they so unafraid in other parts of life to
What daring relations did they have
What dreams did they nurture
Those unafraid beings
Who walked the rooftops
Like they were nothing but another street
on the phoneOn the phone

She was sitting behind me in the landscape
Constantly on the phone
Constantly upset and angered it seemed
In that foreign language
I always wondered
Why bother
Why calling that person
Whom makes her so distressed and sad
Why not letting go
And call someone else
Someone to be a spark plug
To kickstart
A happier life
The monkey tattooThe monkey tattoo

I remember this girl
She had a rural accent
Bleached blond hair
which was growing out dark
on the top of her head
She was mostly minding her business
Drinking coffee at her work station
Talking low in an oldstyle Nokia
One warm day
She removed her sweater
She had a monkey tattoo
Kind of unexpected
She was not a tatoo person at all
Six fingers on a handSix fingers on a hand

He was just a normal guy
A bit of a geek that's true
Worn out t-skirt with some metal band logo
Low riding hiphop trousers
of the turn of the century kind
He had no car
Got around by his rusty scooter
Kind brown eyes
And a smile that missed a tooth
You never remembered him when he was gone
If you hadn't seen his hand
It had six fingers
He was no normal man
He was...
He was - himself

Feeling blue

It's midsummer's night and you're about to be out and have fun with friends. But I'm sitting lonely wishing you were here....
