K-O'd

The transitory nature of this topsy turvy sphere
Pulled out the stops today
And the curved enthusiasm heading down a one way street
I stand, bewildered and alone

I’m K-O’d, but I’m O-K
I’m K-O’d, but I’m O-K

The devilry lay at hand as you slowly disappear
No smoke or mirrors on display
The same old necromancer who banished the owl to the night
Never to be seen again

You have to laugh, have to laugh in the face of life
That wonderful face of life
You have to laugh, try to laugh in the face of life
Though it can be hard sometimes

I’m K-O’d, but I’m O-K
I’m K-O’d, but I’m O-K
I’m K-O’d but I’m O-K
I’m K-O’d, I’ll be O-K
(I hope)
