Invader

The lice have made a home inside the hoses of the radiator
I can never sleep at night under this city’s neon haze
Everybody here is an invader of a human body
Cellular biology is evidence of that
I microwave a coffee cup and step out for a cigarette
I panic every moment that I step outside the house
Everybody here is an impostor in a human body
Transatlantic politics is evidence of that
Maybe you’ll be dead by the summer
Maybe radiation treatment will prolong another life
Maybe you’ll find religion
Maybe you’ll get a god
Maybe not
Maybe you’ll be alive
Wallow in the moonlight, wither in the sun:
All the high officials are manipulating everyone
The mice have made a home inside the walls of the refrigerator
Maybe there’s a message in the television screen
Everybody here is an invader of a human body
Cognitive psychology is evidence of that
