In the middle of the night
The man started pacing his flat,
Muttering poems to himself,
Humming something in a strange manner,
Measuring the length of his lodgings
With his steps.
He felt as if without any reason
He hit another man and spilled his blood
On the carpet, on his sleeve, on the floor,
The bow string was droning,
Arrows were flying in every direction,
And thank God that his child
Was in bed next room, sleeping...
The man couldn't sleep,
He was rushing about
like a beast in its cage,
His neighbours were already
Calling the police...
He started singing,
The song was loud, long and sad,
And in the dark the chandelier
Started swinging above his head...
He started shouting
That he couldn't see the light
At the end of the tunnel,
That the summer was coming,
That he wasn't here,
That he had been left somewhere,
That he had come to the point,
That he was standing at the edge,
But that note wasn't in the mucical scale,
And he, most probably, was Hamlet,
And hated crowds.
At that point the coppers
Broke into the flat,
And some of their boots
Got him out of breath,
And the lights went off,
And the flat went silent,
And the lights went off,
And the flat went silent,
And the lights went off,
And the flat went silent.
