Stick and suck,<\/p>\n
the glass is slick<\/p>\n
perfect to stick and suck<\/p>\n
58 floors of glass<\/p>\n
to fame and fortune<\/p>\n
the ultimate huckster<\/p>\n
draws the worlds attention<\/p>\n
to me, a little bug<\/p>\n
with suction stickers<\/p>\n
rhythmically,<\/p>\n
carefully,<\/p>\n
climbing the slick surface<\/p>\n
slick as the surface of the wizard who lives here<\/p>\n
whose magical powers have enchanted the kingdom<\/p>\n
holding all in thrall<\/p>\n
a fat bug casting a spell<\/p>\n
seeming to be shiny and smooth<\/p>\n
I will climb this surface<\/p>\n
that reflects all looks<\/p>\n
the mirrored surface<\/p>\n
opaque<\/p>\n
but fragile<\/p>\n
easily cracked and broken.<\/p>\n
Stick and suck<\/p>\n
the glass is slick.<\/p>\n
I climb to fame and fortune<\/p>\n
it is all a fairy tale<\/p>\n
but where is the knight pure of heart<\/p>\n
where is the wise fool<\/p>\n
where is the innocent maiden<\/p>\n
who will slay the loathsome bug?<\/p>\n
not me.<\/p>\n
I just want to cut me off a hunk of this jive.<\/p>\n
