Climbing Oddity

Com a gentil permissão do David Arqueado dei umas marteladas numa sua letra e saiu esta “Climbing Oddity”, dedicada a todos os nossos Tomes que andam lá fora a trepar pela vida. Para uma melhor apreciação é favor cantarem enquanto lêem.

Ground Control to Climber Tom
Ground Control to Climber Tom
Take your rope and put your helmet on.
Ground Control to Climber Tom
Commencing countdown, muscles on
Check your knot and may God's shoes be with you.
.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten a, Climbing.
.
This is Ground Control to Climber Tom
You've really made the grade
And the sponsors want to know your underwear
Now it's time to leave the rest if you dare.
.
“This is Climber Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the crux, be aware
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the handholds look very different today.
.
For here
Am I dreaming in a big wall
Far above the ground
My time in the soil is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand routes
I'm feeling very safe
And I think my shoes know which way to go
Tell all climbers to check their rope, they know."
.
Ground Control to Climber Tom
Your rope's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Climber Tom?
Can you hear me, Climber Tom?
Can you hear me, Climber Tom?
Can you....

.

“Here am I floating I don’t know where

Far above the World

Ordinary life is blue

And there's nothing I can do.”
