Annie the Ripper-Phototaxis

Annie the Ripper Phototaxis Supreme Court sends me to exile In a no man’s land where the wind rhymes When I arrived they pulled my hair down Uniforms and stinky floors Miles and miles of chores Then the officer came closer Whisper in my ear Cookie you won’t last until next year But I had a secret no one knew I can ride when I hear a tune Pipes howling Neighbors crying Mice twitting Doors shutting The pond is wide it holds a whistle And I hear it calling when the whip strikes In hard times I’m just a cleaner Endless floors and cracking doors Symphony of holes Then the sirens draw me deeper Whisper in my ear Welcome to Annie the Ripper –ministry of tears But I had a secret no one knew I can fly when I hear a tune Pipes howling Neighbors crying Mice twitting Doors shutting Come on Sailor Come to the bottom I’m your savior
