Lizard On The Red Brick Wall

(album: Tremblers And Goggles By Rank - 2022)

Ancient and roaming from the wilderness small
Short-necked and thunder-built, no caution at all
Hand branched and shovel-curved with double long plate
Out from the alley not a second too late

Bird shape and planted near a rib, a ring tone
Close to the nearest heart, a robot strike zone
The sun was heavy like a medicine ball
I saw the lizard on the red brick wall

Swift foot invader
Coursing, running
Destroy your first born
Coming back to you
No explanation
No expectation
Just spin the globe
Find a location

What is the mission statement?
Who makes the call?
Initiate
Initiate
The destination

We write the songs about the planets and stars
We sit hallucinating out from our cars
Beyond the parking lots to nowhere at all
I saw the lizard on the red brick wall
I saw the lizard on the red brick wall
A red brick wall
A lizard on the red brick wall
A lizard on the red brick wall

The lizard is on a reign
The lizard is on a reign
The lizard is on a reign, initiation
The lizard is on a reign
The lizard is on a reign across the nation
