Sandman Calling Lepers

Sandman calling lepers in the middle of the afternoon. 
He wants them to leap and dance 
in thorough mobile phone fashion. 
Drop the act. 
                      Drop the act. 
Be the member of the hive 
                you're supposed to be. 

And 

let the smell of marihuana drift 
like 
gravel 
through the incense soaked necklace. 

Be the yes. 
                  Be the yes. 
Be the midnight sun 
          blinking on and off 
                        like an underwater 
city being bombed by the propaganda. 

There are always flies in the house. 
Always ants underfoot. 
Always skin toned dyed hair 
            littering the black pants 
left at the back of a chair. 

We can break the mould of desperation. 
First though, 
we must break the 
            mould of an "ism" type of living.
