Well sometime in the night, he wakes to hear the sound
of rain against the window.
It doesn’t take him long to pick up on the dream he left.
Miles and miles of wafers and cream
He drools and he twitches at the climax of the dream
where he’s up on a podium somewhere in Belgium, smiling as the Queen
presents the Chocolate king with a glass to put his teeth in.
Climb down all of your steps to me, I’ll be here with what’s left of me
a junkie sucking the sugar from stars
He crumbles into space, but things are taking shape
his throne is made of leather.
It doesn’t take him long to figure out that he is wrong.
Dentures & a crowbar are laid out on a dish
He cries out, recognises the dentist & the drill
Who’s pulling & poking, crying & choking
Waking with a scream, all hail the chocolate king in bed
with all his teeth in.
