> Hello darkness my old friend
> Ibve come to sit in you again
> Because a wire softly loosening
> Left its place while I was cruising
> And my vision, that was guided by its light
> Gave way to night
> Thanks to the Scourge of Lucas

> So many nights Ibve worked btil dawn
> Trying to find out what went wrong
> bNeath the halo of a street lamp
> Ibve jiggled wires btil my fingers cramp
> And my arms are scarred from the bright sparks that split the air
> And singed my hair
> Thanks to the Scourge of Lucas
>

> And in the sparking light I saw
> 10,000 MGs maybe more.
> Engines cranking without starting
> Switches clicking without switching
> People starting drives that ended in a tow
> And dreams laid low
> Thanks to the Scourge of Lucas.

> Fools say I do not know
> How to fix a dynamo
> Under the dash I canbt quite reach you
> Despite my cursing that Ibll teach you
> But my words, like burned-out lightbulbs fell
> Into the hell
> Of Lucas
>
>
>
> And the experts bowed and prayed
> To the manuals that theybd made
> And the manuals gave dire warning
> About the hazards of most everything
> But the words of those prophets gave not one single clue
> What I could do
> To end the Scourge of Lucas
