The Top

They asked lots of questions
But never to my face
When they sensed me coming
They quickened their pace

And now I made it to the top

Babies started to cry
As soon as they saw me
I wondered why
Didn't I look happy?

But now I made it to the top
It didn't take that long

I know I should have
Let people come near
Instead I chose solitude
Out of unreasonable fear

So now I am standing at the top
Elevator brought me up

This top is very lonely
Just like it was below
Only me talking to me
Guess it's time to go

Now I am over the top
Ground level
Next stop

As I pass eleventh floor
With the end getting near
I relive my life once more
This time without fear

(1998)
