Autumn leaves are falling,
all the time, all the time.
Warmth turns to frost'
So suddenly it burns.

tender lightning breaks-out,
All the time, all the time.
Leading way to mist,
So fast it settles down.

Water gushes out the gash,
All the time, all the time.
Flowing into an endless sea,
So sudden it burns.

People are dying,
All the time, all the time.
Dropping down into the sump,
So fast it settles down.
