The News

Rumours of crop circles circulated 

Witches huddled in their apartments whispering about fire 

The boys wrote songs predicting the end of the world 

And chartered accountants reported seeing unidentified flying objects

I read the news today oh boy

I pored myself another drink while the large black bird behind me flapped her wings and made a sound from her throat that was comforting

I read the news today

Pored myself another drink and looked to the stars, they were there, real, at least it seemed to me that they burned their terrible light in through my eyes to my brain and scarred it forever

Rumours of crop circles, witches, the end of the world, UFO's,

I read the news today oh boy.
