So ok I guess you win because I’ve had enough, I knew you were
cheating but I was a fool to call your bluff, hello again world give me
freedom tonight, if my luck holds out I wont be around to see the
morning light, this sorrow has kissed me full on the lips, who ever
thought such a hard fall could come from a few subtle slips, I’m all I
know and nothing in the face of things, I saw the slight of hand in the
magic and the awful smile it brings, all these questions make me fill
like a wrong answer, all these elegant dancers make me fill like a lame
dancer, if yesterday could just stay there and today could be history,
then maybe tomorrow could put an end to this mystery, but something
has to die in the name of progress, all this complacency is just the
surface of the distress, but every fools paradise is a wise mans hell, but
only the fools care to tell the tail, so let this be my duty and my new
wife, if I cant make a living I’ll make a killing from this life.
Nice guys finish last if they can even finish at all, you’ve got to have a
strong stomach and less of a walk than a crawl, you don’t give up you
just lose your taste for trying, you lose your will for life and grow a fear
for dying, so many years ago when I was a child, the stars were
haunting and the world was wild, but now I haunt these streets just like
a ghost, god is just the haunted as I wonder thru the host, who in his
right mind would ever admit he was in hie right mind, the shame is so
well hidden but the shameless pride is easy to find, you can’t solve the
problem with another problem but who knows, if your gonna throw
away the thorn you might as well throw away the rose, and here I am
stuck in the middle of right and wrong, I know I’ve got to wait I just
don’t know how long, I must have caused this effect in some kind of
way, you change the past you cant touch the future and you cant live
today.
