Myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate for him to choose
What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country all covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose
And wandering's brothers walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.
Rally man's patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long to his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and red-lined with time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks from the bills
Cut mouth bleeding razor's forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you'd fly to the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose
Choose again
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes serve to realize fame
Choose again
And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
O come again
Come to go
And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on
If the stone glances off
Splits didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Don't scream
Try between if you choose
If you choose try to lose
For the loss of remain
Come and start
Start the game
I che che che che I
Che che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose
Choose to go
