The Misfits

When school goes out we'll have a super day!

Said Sam, the leader of the gang.

We'll run & run until the sun gives way,

And we'll greet the streets with a bang.

Weep not ye mighties, it's all our domain,

This land is but a playground for us.

Yes, said David, from the seas to the plains,

From the concrete, yes, to the bus.

What if our parents catch us? Said Sabin,

The shiest of this savage crew.

Fear not, said Ujen, it is not a sin

To have fun, every day, or two.

Run forth, run forth, ye misfits, let us run.

In the depths we will find the new!

Run forth, run forth, sharp yourself for the hunt.

The sky's red and the sun is blue.

The dog you see there, it is not a dog,

But a lion that growls its roars.

And the garden snake that slides in the bogs,

Is a dragon, how high it soars!

The houses around us are ancient huts

Built by peoples of long ago.

Oi, said the store clerk, what you stupid runts

Doing out by the store window?

And the vines that stalk these ru-runic walls

Are where the space monkeys do climb.

We can't see them, because a special call

Is sent forth when humans come spyin'.

The treasure lies beyond, the treasure lies…

Their voices trail off with the wind.

For the sound of their fathers' mothers' cries,

Let us know that this tale now ends.
