EYES OF THE TRUCKS

((( Jimmy )))

I sure like playing with trucks
They are my favorite toys
My voice tries to simulate
Foreboding engine noise
The trucks run rampant throughout
The limits of my backyard
I can't imagine my life
Without the trucks on guard

They are protecting my life
Why should I learn to fight?
I never tell them goodbye
I never leave them outside
But when I look in their eyes
I see anger and spite
A hidden jealous surprise
In the reflections of eyes

A birthday pile of presents
Psychedelic monolith
I scan the gifts with interest
Don't know which one to start with
A gift of prodigious size
The shape is unusual
Unwrap the paper to find
A brand new tricycle

It's painted red with demise
An omen shining bright
But I fail to realize
The danger in my life
Until I look in the
Eyes of the trucks
I see my
Violent death painted white
In the reflections of eyes

You should have seen
The look in their eyes
When I put them inside of a box
And I hid them away
You should have seen the box
When I found it much later
It was tipped over and
The trucks were ready to play

I know the trucks don't approve
Of my new tricycle friend
It is my new favorite
I'll take a ride 'round the bend
But now I see them as real
The trucks have taken new form
I haven't felt so afraid
Since I was overborn

The trucks have killed me before
I still remember the day
Can I escape from them now?
I can't just throw them away
I see them roaming the streets
They are enormous in size
It won't be long before I
Or someone else I know dies
'Cause in the eyes of the trucks
I've seen reflections before
