\n<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>I<\/span>t’s easy to lose your perspective in this world. It’s easy to start thinking you’re… you know… somebody<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Even though, in the end, you will certainly be nobody.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, with the household staff buzzing around you like so many worker bees making things nice for the queen, it’s easy to forget that inside that Greek-columned mausoleum, inside that marble crypt… you’ll be just as dead as the nameless drunk in potter’s field.<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/b>Spit in the Ocean<\/span><\/p>\n

You must think you\u2019re oh so very
\nterribly important
\nwith your car, your house, your maid,
\nyour butler and your porters.<\/p>\n

But seen from the stars <\/span>
\nyou\u2019re the same as all of us are.<\/span>
\nAnd it might seem a queer notion<\/span>
\nbut we\u2019re all just spit <\/span>
\nin the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hop upon a plane
\nrun around the world
\nTokyo, Paris, Rome, Berlin
\nand they’re all full of your kind of girl.<\/p>\n

You can have all the ones you want<\/span>
\nyou can play with people\u2019s lives.<\/span>
\nYou can have all the rope you want <\/span>
\nbut soon enough they expect that noose <\/span>
\nto be tied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seen from above<\/span>
\njust another slightly balding head<\/span>
\na little bit of dandruff on the shoulders<\/span>
\nbut you\u2019ll be dead<\/span>
\nsoon enough, <\/span>anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiding in your villa
\non the Dalmatian Coast.
\nYour blue ribbon Afghan hound at your feet
\nthe one that you prize the most.<\/p>\n

But your baby\u2019s got the rabies
\nand he\u2019s gonna bite your foot.
\nain\u2019t there an end to the indignities
\nthrough which a human being
\nmust be put.<\/p>\n

Seen from the stars<\/span>
\nJust another chunk of rock in space.<\/span>
\nlittle ones crawling about on it<\/span>
\nbut they\u2019ll be gone<\/span>
\nsoon enough<\/span>, anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must think you\u2019re oh so very
\nterribly important
\nwith your car, your house, your maid,
\nyour butler and your porters.<\/p>\n

But seen from the stars <\/span>
\n you\u2019re the same as all of us are.<\/span>
\n And it must seem a queer notion<\/span>
\n but we\u2019re all just spit <\/span>
\nin the ocean. <\/span><\/p>\n
