What you can't find, makes you think again, don’t buy more wine, go home, there's too much pain, stick to your own, you hear these whines, standing in the rain, everything's fine, drenched to the bone, I’ve been no angel, soft swish of my tones, why try to disguise, each day’s claim, a roll of the dice, I don't trust I' phones, they perish the mind, love’s overblown, it just takes a while, to catch a fast train, dance with the time, face no-one's blame

Gone is the time, I stare straight at you, you’re a real dime, you don’t make it easy, what you’ve been through, to see it in me, cashmere’s fine, to stamp out the blues, but not in July, you don’t do breezy, why disguise the truth, the way you speak, hard times besides, you use as a tool, to sharpen my mind, shake the car keys, am I your mule, each day’s no Odyssey, I’m just in line, to catch more sad tunes, no more sweet wine, not from you.

You can swear and blow, it's never too late, if you want to come home, no need to face ruin, or worry about an escape, you're no one's fool, a rolling stone, at some broken gate, luck is when it rolls, but you better come soon, drunk on the waves, I’ll forget about you, so close to the zone, you'll sink in the glue, when you’re alone, never mind the looks, you'll always need loans, to swing on my hook, you're too cool to roam, nothing else to gain, no knife to your throat, better stay safe.

I’m never a girl, that curses and blasts, my mind in a whirl, a face set like stone, when I’m brassed, it's best you count now, don't look scared, turn away trapped, I won’t rattle my pearls, see your ghost, strung to collapse, those lies are your own, your head starts to twirl, your teeth in a glass, say prayers downstairs, cry on the doorpost, drink tea aghast, ask what I need most, I’ll turn the flame down, cook with gas, my flags unfurled, you can relax.

A cracked dirty spoon, offers no insight, or makes you look cool, here in this game, a race for your life, do you hold the reins, don’t be a mule, spinning cooked over lies, stop what you’re doing, your eyes see the pain, brain reels like a firefly, let them go their way, what makes it so futile, you cry inside, some really need you, when others ask why, if you're going insane, show them what's right, act goody two shoes, you’ll be fine, who needs to be cruel, you’ve got the sunlight

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk to speak, enough to raise the stakes, risk being torn, the useless dates we make, I wait for the seasons, with my crown of thorns, giving up on reason, kids run about the place, being cast forlorn, I have to act brave, don’t look at me please, like you’ve been taught, dreaming in the sea, a hand that shakes, askance at my only call, understand I conjugate, this is not really me, jellied to the core, a flower of deep tranquillity, needing more.

He will dance around you, scream for another loan, say everything’s bad juju, sunlight, water, he’s up high, like some waving comb, God knows who makes it right, I walk the avenue, my daisy head is blown, he paints me lemon blue, throws craps to the night, will break any curfew, forget about the fights, when I cry for truth, know I’m not alone, can't be bothered to argue, what's worse is the silence, all that's gone to ruin, my once partner’s niceness, he’ll receive his dues, reveal his broken bones, what is there that's new, he’s never coming home.
