BY JAY WELLER
HEY THERE BOY, HEY THERE SON
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN MY SAD EYED ONE?
BODIES PILED HIGH, MOUTHS WIDE AND AGHAST
NAKED AND TANGLED AND COVERED IN ASH
TELL ME NOW, MY SAD EYED ONE
WHAT DID YOU SEE WHEN THE BOMBS CAME DOWN?
THE CRIPPLED CRAWL OF AN EIGHT LEGGED SPIDER
CITIES AND RIVERS AND OCEANS ON FIRE
HEY THERE BOY, HEY THERE SON
WHAT DID YOU SEE WHEN THE BOMBS CAME DOWN?
GALLOPING HORSES, FANGS DRIPPING WITH BLOOD
A BILLION BLACK CORPSES STAMPED INTO THE MUD
TELL ME NOW, MY SAD EYED SON
WHAT DID YOU SEE MY DARLING YOUNG ONE?
SAW THE EARTH AND THE STARS AND HEAVENS COLLIDE
FUSE INTO THE PLAIN AND COLLAPSE INTO NIGHT
