thought it wou

                              
ld be
           
I lose myself 

           
in a daydream 

where I stand 

and say...

Fun gestures a

                    
re exchanged 
              
and the organ 

            
starts to play

              
 a song that s

              
ounds like a d

            
eath march
             
And I am hidin
