nine innings shared between two teams
beneath an eclipse that's plain to see
and the umps we looked up to, you and me
incinerating violently
stick your bat out
swing it through the zone
feel it tearing at the air
as they tell you just what to tell yourself:
"this is all for which you must care"
nine more nerve-rending innings spent thinking of the bones
trying to squeeze tears from two pale white stones
they say the system's flawless in the tomes,
but even now, i can hear the engine start to groan
hold your microphone
put it to your lips
feel the tension in the air
as you flash the message the whole world needs to hear:
"there is far more for which we care"
