Light in the hall
Let's
Have a ball
Get on your hands and knees
An' Crawl

Beer on the way
Don't you say
Everyone's gotta
Pay the piper
Some way

Don't you be
Your own
Worse enemy
Your souls to good
To be spent all day
Belittling

Cross the road
Over the vine
Rests a tiny place
I call mine
Come over
Have a drink
Any day or time

I'm your absolute
You're my fish in a boot
Love me or don't
I don't give a toot
Gold and gems
All hidden things
Take my hand
Let us sing

When I take my tide
And let it ride
I think back on
A lot of silly things
One night stands
A flurry of flings
The river is wide open
Yet what I've felt
Cannot be spoken

Her hair falls
To her left breast side
She says words
Like a
Bereaving sigh
Aren't we here to love?
Aren't we here to die?
Aren't we here to live
With and without
The need to cry?
You took me for a fool
And I let you
What else was there to do
But act like
What you wanted me to prove?

I'm a drifting
Whistle
I'm a
Trundle of thistle
I'm a broken vein
Dancing
On ripped' sinew

Take me as I am
Or
Leave me
I'll find another way
Take me if you can
Or
Delete me

I don't mind being
Make
Believe
