A lonely kid sat alone in the dark
His forehead bleeding with a mark
Across the street was something, so hollow
He figured it out to be just a shadow.
It was on the other side of a window,
The figures seemed to be in a mellow
and as they danced and swayed
The kid simply shivered and withered
He wondered if it was the dark,
or, was it the blood so cold
While the shadows grew red in the heat of passion,
that little heart stopped its action
Next morning he is picked up by the garbage van
also carrying the wastes of the passion,
While a few leer and drank beer,
The lives of rest lay naked and bare
