I stand in the gully upright and solely
A concrete ground slopes down to my spot
There's only one way out of here and that's up
I'm in good spirits, now it's all up to me
I'm ready to move, and it's my responsibility
Positive, from this point
No high cliffs to fall off
Positive, from this point
A steady rise towards the sky
From this point I'll start to walk up
And then I'll fly
But what do I hear in the distance
What is that twirling sound
Seems like somebody is pouring marbles all around
Marbles from every corner, roll towards me
Marbles, more and more, roll against me
Marbles, everywhere, roll beneath me
Now glossy, smooth pellets
Under my feet
Are challenging my pleased conceit
Bang
Arms and feet too slow to use
Head hits the ground, smash
Ouch
Without defense my body slings into a crash
Splash
Marbles bounce all over the place
Like bullets with no aim
Shush
They spread out and they're gone
It's the end of this faltering game
I arise in the gully, slowly but surely
Bewildered and caught off my guard
The stiff and sore pain in my back is so hard
Yet more important, the relief, indeed
At last I am on firm ground, and I am ready to proceed
Positive, from this point
The marbles are all gone
Positive, from this point
I can still see the sky
From this point again I'll walk up
And then I'll fly
But as I look into the distance
I hear the same twirling sound
Sounds like there still are lots of marbles around
Marbles from every corner, roll towards me
Marbles, more and more, roll against me
Marbles, everywhere, roll beneath me
Bang
Arms and feet too slow to use
Head hits the ground, smash
Ouch
Without defense my body slings into a crash
Splash
Marbles bounce all over the place
Like bullets with no aim
Shush
They spread out and they're gone
It's the end of this faltering game
They keep on rolling
And cause me to fall
Keep on rolling
They're just forced by gravity after all
Keep on rolling
So I lay down against the gully ground
Keep on rolling
And crawl amongst the marbles all swarming around
Keep on rolling
I have finally left credulity behind
I'm actually moving forward, at least in my mind
Bang
Arms and feet too slow to use
Head hits the ground, smash
Ouch
Without defense my body slings into a crash
Splash
Marbles bounce all over the place
Like bullets with no aim
Shush
They spread out and they're gone
It's the end of this faltering game
