Dreadlocked histories that have no stage
they emit ancient ghastly stenches
wrenched by pain, slain by fences
they reign desperate over murky relegations

They emit ancient ghastly stenches
panhandling tourists, manhandling themselves
they reign desperate over murky relegations
they request only cigarettes for taxation

Panhandling tourists, manhandling themselves
visionaries and hags imbibe paper bags
they request only cigarettes for taxation
but invading officers put them to flight

Visionaries and hags imbibe paper bags
lurk with rage, crowd green benches
but invading officers put them to flight
crazy shades of night fly through the park
