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.
