I’m going to go as Einstein for Halloween 
So I can slip on banana peels without spelling it out 
There’s a joke in the pocket of a clock 
And a truth in the loneliness of a flock 
My genius wants to bang the gong but it knows 
It doesn’t exist 
The breast of a sparrow is only as tough 
As a wheelbarrow at dawn 
Yawn at the fact they think tomorrow 
Will be the same as the days without coal 
And steam engines 
Failing to see realities shape 
Causes her to 
skip the date 
and go to the fella 
who bothered to ask her 
what she really means
