When

When the glowing light leads you astray
And the evil begins to feel good
When your mind turns and starts to play
Games that no mind should
When your white knight has transformed to black
And a witch is crowned a queen
Have you raced yourself off the track
And has the seen become unseen

When a small boy has lost all hope
And cries alone in his bed
When the only answer is six feet of rope
To clear the thoughts in his head
When modern stone takes all the trees
And green transforms to grey
And the city falls but no-one sees
That things were headed this way

When the magic has gone and only dust remains
That can never be revived
When the blood has fled and left your veins
And wonder how you survived
When the mouse is chased to the end of the line
But not eaten, coz the cat is lazy
That surely is a sign
That this world has gone crazy
