Beatrice and Dante
At the end of the fourth age of man
Sometime after the shit touched down
There was nothing left but you,
Me, and that Billy Joel musical
Everyone just can't stop talking about;
The world spoke Japanese
And as usual, we weren't fluent;
Rat tails came back into style
On men and children and rats;
And everyone thought Hollywood
Made objective documentaries;
And you kept saying to me,
"Something good will come of this."
And you kept saying to me,
"I promise you'll come around."
And I kept thinking,
"One step farther.
"One step more and I'm home."
