Upon a ledge I could do with chalk
I'd only gone for a sensible walk
I didn't bank on espying your form
You said you were Yosemite bound
You said we'd never get off the ground.

I'm well aware it's a love in vain
You're a peak I can never attain
I'm so low level I'm in the drain
Grade one loose scree, I'm ok
Trapped on Cloggy though, no way.

Mod. Diff. Vdiff. Hard severe
How do I climb out of here?
Half past crag fast here I cling
Call me a blockhead, a shell of a man
Call Llanberis quick as you can.

Dreams are wheeling on thermals
Streams of thought gone awry
Schemes embarked on sent reeling
Whaling the tar out of me.
Call out to the ghost of Kirkus
I call out to the ghost of Kirkus.

You say I'm stupid, you say I'm a clown
You call me Incapability Brown
So you're the best chance of getting me down
Ropeless maybe, hopeless no
My Jacket's pumpkin: Paramo.

Mod. Diff. Vdiff. Hard severe
Won't you winch me out of here
Head cam, dead ram not my scene
M E N L O V E
Let me have myself in thee.
