NARCISSUS

narcissus gazes into the pool
in search of happiness
he turns away from the ugly world
discontented and depressed
alone with his fragile ego
he surfs through cyberspace
types into the search engine
'wanted+the+perfect+face'
and if he only could be happy for one day
if he could drive the blues away
if he could only kick the boredom
oh narcissus, wishing his life away

narcissus swallows another pill
to calm his anxiety
no-one home, disconnects the phone
switches off the TV
he lies back on his pillows
and floats off into space
lusting after Miss Euphoria
and her seductive ways
and if he only could be happy for one day
if he could drive the blues away
if he could only kick the boredom
oh narcissus, wishing his life away

oh narcissus, didn't anybody tell you
nobody and nothing can give you what you want
don't shut yourself away in your little ivory palace
set your spirit free before it is too late!

narcissus plunges into the pool
and drowns in happiness
