Great lines of numbers

all bright and shiny
all through the ether
some huge some tiny
all through the ether
from France to China
unite the people
all bottom liners

Some Brass some Paper
some Gold some Silver
some full of promise
some full of anger
in ranks of thousands
we fall and stumble
all bottom liners
we make the numbers

And in the future
new forms of romance
grenade and landmine
in twilit silence
with hands that tremble
and lives that flounder
all bottom liners
all undergrounders
all undergrounders
