The Moonlight Gleams off of the Street
In Front of the Ol’ Mavis Suites.
A Stalker Stands Silent in Shadow A Shined Shoe Taps impatiently
He Takes a Cigar out from his Pocket Lights it and Listens to Cries of Forgotten Mothers who can’t Feed their Babes And Fathers who Toil in Caves.
One Last Long Deep Drag, Red Embers Burn Bright He Flicks the Butt to a Puddle that Swiftly Ignites As the Blaze Traces Back to its Source
The Flames Catch on and Burst Forth.
Nobody Noticed, As the Flames Climbed each Floor Nobody Noticed, As the Halls filled with Smoke Nobody Noticed, Until it was Too Late
The Alarm Wires Lay Cut
The Sprinklers all Hang Clamped Shut
The Phone Lines all Dead as they Come
The Windows had all been Nailed Shut
And the Flames, were so High They Lit up the Night Sky
And the Smoke, was so Thick One Breath and you were Sick
