Ass - Momus

Ass, recharging your phone

Up on the stage, they’ve started Act One

You’re on the set, you’re in the play

What’ll you do?

As in a horrible dream you are alone

No lines to say, you’re in a play

It’s got to go on

But nothing comes

Ass!

The prompter is there, under the stage

Hissing at you, ruddy with rage

You can’t hear what he says

He sounds like a snake!

Ass!

Make something up

Really who cares, something about love

Kittens or bears, gallons of gas

Pull it out of your ass

Ass!

Where is your voice

You utter a word, but there’s no noise

Everyone stares, you are a star

So dead and so far

Ass, for once in your life wouldn’t you like

To reach into your ass, deep in the crack

Find a beautiful speech

Everyone needs?

Quick, open the crack

Scrabble around, they’ll give you a pass

Playing for time, it’ll be fine

Never again

Ass!

Make something up

Really who cares, something about love

Kittens or bears, gallons of gas

Ass
