[E]
Lifting the mask from a local crowd, feeling down like him.
Seeing the light in a station bar and traveling far and sinning.
Sailing downstairs to the Northern Line, watching the shine of the shoes.
Hearing the trials of the people at Rooster Care or Faylou's.
you may see me on the [E] ground,
[F] for I am the parasite of [E] this town.
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes, a sign of the times today.
