It's a Dark Night
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago

[Maybe it's just phrased that way for the shock value, maybe he legitimately equates them....it's anyone's guess. ...In any event, somebody was watching Starship Troopers last night, apparently, and now might have a tiny temporary fixation on alien bugs. Don't mind him.]
