The world spun in circles, just like i remembered
the earth turned in orbit, just like i was taught
but,
when i woke up
i didn't know where i was
and the newspaper told me
to believe
and the honest, street walkers
yelled from the pavement
to believe

I didn't accept a word as fact
or fiction
i only heard diction
and contradiction
inflict
and infliction
influx
and fluctuation

but the guitars sang
out the night
and the sunlight
swept away the disease
the cool, regrettable, encouraging disease
i live
day in
day in
day in
