My man Muscles from hand to foot Completely coated in Uninterrupted skin My man Signals command The leg to be subordinate To orders from the brain Why then Am I in bed? I guess my man's Fallen out with my head My man How can he stand? Your fingers could encircle Clear around the ankle My man Won't walk again In conflict with express Instructions coming from the head Why can't The message be sent? I guess my man's Fallen out with my head May I direct your attention to the following simile? You're like an undersea continent Buried beneath is a submarine cable Connecting the opposite shores that surround it When something happens to drag on the floor of this ocean For instance, an anchor or mooring The cable can be disrupted, and even be severed Which halts the transmission across it There is no way to repair the break It's a practical impossibility My man Muscles from hand to foot Completely coated in Uninterrupted skin My man Signals command The leg to be subordinate To orders from the brain |
