What do you call it?

please pull me up

and drag me across the road

please lay me down

on the sand by the sea

i turn to dust

and you will be wise to know

i am everywhere

like light in the day

what's left to do

when the clock strikes two

battleships

ready for dawn

so, yes i was

i didn't set out to be

it was clear, at least

it was clear to me

i poured gasoline

and then struck a match

down i went to Turcs

right down the hatch
