Pondskater Lyrics

The water, stable as a floor, breaks their fall.
On stilts, they skate through pond reflections
hugging glass.
On the surface we're all nice and calm.
Impressions of people never fade
at a glance.
Form into line in our mind.
Sending out a pulse through our eyes
hoping to impress.
Look at acid rainfalls.
Will people never fade?
The striders look up and form into a line,
and scratching eyes,
they are sending out a pulse
to factories and men hoping to impress.
