a sixties smash from kraziekhat .
* * * ( the other verses . )
breathe deep the gathering gloom .
watch lights fade from every room .
bedsitter people look back and lament .
another day’s useless , energy spent .
impassioned lovers , wrestle as one .
lonely man cries for love . . and has none .
new mother picks up and suckles her son .
senior citizens , wish they were young .
cold hearted orb , that rules the night .
removes the colours , from our sight .
red is gray and yellow , white .
but we decide , which is right . .
and which is an illusion .
