When I was a little boy
I couldn’t stand
The bland rattling of a day
A stilted dissonance
Of scattered sounds
Gushing from away
Swaying in a daze
I heard a Siren’s voice
A gentle, soothing grace
It led me far astray
I fell into a well
Where tuneful music dwells
Since then I can’t seem to shake it off, no
Those constant melodies
Keep seeping through my skin
But than I wouldn’t let it go, no
It helps me blending in
Get through another day
When I was a little boy
I tried to make sense
Of random, rambling noise
Now everywhere I go
I hear rhythm in the clatter of footsteps
So it goes
