Synchronicity II
~Police

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake,

Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take

Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the
Bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky

He walks unhindered through the picket lines today,
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
But all he ever thinks to do is watch,

And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face

Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break

He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the
Shore of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away...
Many miles away...
