Escape into the latest prison
And the smile
That was once the length
Of a day
Will slip into the dancing 
butterfly’s meagre home.
Go to the wall
Listen to your dreams
Read your latest headlines.

Watch as the prison bars
Turn out to be marshmallow
Laugh with me
Dance with the laughter
Cock your smile
At the wise old moon.

Simmer
In this summer
With knowledge
Watch the prison warders
As they melt away from reality
That can only be theirs
They fade and die
Fade and die
 Because I created them

Escape in to the deepest dungeon
As your thoughts
Find unused discarded knives
Laugh with me
Dance with the laughter
Cock your smile
At the fading sun.

Dream your dreams away
Rainy day dream away
The laughter echoes
Inside these prison walls
Watch my hand
As it fades away
As the daylight crawls
Towards another day.

Don’t watch me
As I scratch another word for free
Leave the switch on
As the smile broadens
And the day becomes long.

Laugh with me
Dance with the laughter
Cock your smile
The world will smile with you
Escape into the wordage
Of well worn paths
Listen to the escaping gases
Make only the slightest guesses
Then cry with the baying wolves
For I have cool reminder
Of what can only be seen as cruel.

Your prison hearts are antelopes eyes
Your smiles are not even there at all
Don’t spin the sun
I’m not here for fun
Laugh with me
Dance with the laughter
Cock your smile
Watch your feet dry up.

Escape into the guessing game
You can ride with me 
As I lift off into the sky
Don’t be too strong
Leave these prison walls
Holiday in the balm
Of discovering where you stand;
Laugh with me
Dance with the laughter
Cock your smile
At the wise old moon.
