Babel spills its heart out and its soul
To some unsuspecting troll
Unwitting and unwilling
he is shown the holiest secrets
But he is a smart troll
well chosen, works in retail,
has an attention to detail,
has class

so he walks up haphazardly upon the newly built tower
at some ungodly hour
unable to sleep
in his cave under the bridge
his feet heat the freshly packed clay
still hot from the light of day
and he wonders aloud
while he tugs on the hem of his shroud
"Is God any closer?"
The answer is "No sir"
and it comes from the skies
from a voice of a size
something like sixty men
and it tells him the words
that he only had heard

and I'd tell you them
but I don't know them
I mean, I know I sound like I know what went down
that hot night in Babel
but I don't
I mean, it was a secret, you know?
I'm sorry to disappoint you
I just thought it was kind of interesting that
Babel reveald its secret to a troll.

I mean, I didn't even know trolls existed.

And why would a troll get this coveted information, whatever it was?

It's just kinda fucked, you know?

Laundry, Comedy, Levity.
