strapped to the seat of a flight
Brooklyn to London firefight
bang goes a door so polite
another Sunday, another wife
canned laughter crawls through your eyes
she picks her poison when it calls
startled to see you inside
just a bowl full of cherries, not a mouthful of blood...
further against your insight
you gamble will with fire and spite
the lie kisses you your goodnight
you're all alone
you wonder why
blessed are the feeble at will
for they inherit the wounds of their elders
startled to see you inside
just a bowl full of cherries, not a mouthful of blood...
come close and tap in to this sceptre of powers
a gift of which can grant the future as ours
