Out of Time

Out of time. Have to go. Stop to eat. Go some more.

Freeze!

Sniff. Sniff. Cursed air. Full of fumes. Noxious city. Smells so foul. Still it's true. Someone's coming. Metal taps. Knee-high boots. Quickly hide.

Heart is beating. They approach. If they find us. So much lost. All our hope... Shh! be still.

Tippity-tap. Walking step. Echoing halls. Hold our breath. Suddenly halt. Look around. Reading our thoughts. We have been found!

Run for our life. They pursue. Flickering knife. Cobalt blue.

Cobalt blue. Cobalt Blue. Flickering knife. Cobalt blue.

We came to work. They gave us jobs. We humbly serve. They think we're dumb. We have a mind. They cannot probe. We watch and learn. They think we're dumb. We pay attention. They think we're dumb. We know their secret. They think we're dumb. We're going to tell.

Flickering knife. Cobalt blue.
