§0 A Light§r §0 in the Attic§r §0------------------- Shel Silverstein§r

§0There's a light on§r §0in the attic.§r §0Though the house is dark and shuttered,§r §0I can see a§r §0flickerin' flutter,§r §0And I know what§r §0it's about.§r

§0Theres a light on§r §0in the attic.§r §0I can see it from§r §0the outside,§r §0And I know you're on the inside... lookin' out.§r

Falling Up §0Shel Silverstein§r §0-------------------I tripped on my shoelace§r §0And I fell up-§r §0Up to the roof tops,§r §0Up over the town,§r §0Up past the tree tops,§r §0Up over the mountains,§r

Up where the colors §0Blend into the sounds.§r §0But it got me so dizzy§r §0When I looked around,§r §0I got sick to§r §0my stomach§r §0And I threw down§r

Reflection §0Shel Silverstein§r §0-------------------Each time I see the Upside-Down Man§r §0Standing in the water,§r §0I look at him and start to laugh,§r §0Although I§r §0shouldn't oughtter.§r

For maybe in §0another world§r §0Another time§r §0Another town,§r §0Maybe HE§r §0is right side up§r §0And I am upside down.§r
