Alien
Walking in and checking out
I am the alien
The legal alien
What is this mess I've walked into?
Get your head down
Dodge the verbal bullets flying my way
Ignore the negativity that hangs round the people's heads
Like a sickening halo cutting into their skulls
And drawing bloody thoughts out into the sleepy air.
They come and go as they please
I am unsure of which way to move
Not yet knowing the rules to follow
or ignore or work around.
Play it be ear.
Play it by fear.
Play it by tears.
