From Sweden
A postcard arrives
There’s only one
Who makes it out alive

And an old man
Living in a Sicilian brothel
Who cannot lose
While all the rest are lost

Along that runway madness lies
And so it ends as it begins
Help him! Help who?
Yossarian. I’m Yossarian.

Who finally comes to understand
The answer lies in his own hands
