The
Tilt is More Important Than the Squeeze
by Nathan Urquhart
The
sun means it's morning,
The heart's kick of life,
Next you know they've squished your ears
With house bricks for a vice,
Tarnished bio-medic steel,
They build them back like new,
Radar dishes search the sky
And the uplink leads to you...
And the generator's needed
To replay what needs repeating,
It's fundamentally essential when you breed,
The rotation's sometimes idle
But the power source is vital
And the tilt is more important than the
squeeze.....
And now they say it's time for me to eat
The darkness means it's night for us
The machine it oils its eyes,
They rest and turn the volume down
It's silence and it's nice,
But as always it is broken with the echoing of
boots,
The technicians, they wonder who is next
And the Chief, he smirks at you I can't stress
or over emphasize
The significance can't be plagiarized
And the substance must be vaporized to breathe,
The principle is prominent
And gravity may be dominant
But the tilt is more important than the
squeeze.....
And now they say it's time to go to sleep |
