Flora

I'm not first in line, to think your're a fool, pass me that wine, you shake your car keys, like someone stupid, pretend you're an Odyssey, that stretch inside, you thought so crude, hasn't sharpened your mind, say you don't do easy, why disguise the truth , you won't shoot the breeze, wear your latest designs, if you feel like a Dude, another turn of the dice, now you look to me, submerged in deep doo doo, as if no one else sees, gone is the time, i'll act like a mule, your life'e the real crime, so out of tune.

When I say 'screw you', to make my troubles light, there's plenty more to do, all of us die intestate, however much we lie, throwing venom at our mates, come to think it through, your eyes betray terrible signs, a frightened fear of truth, fire burns in the grate, don't tell me how to cry, anchors weigh your sea case, no one is immune, only life makes us wise, I'm no longer duped, wouldn't it be great, to feel a love inside, instead of all this rage, your ship's beyond the dunes, waiting on the tide, better get moving, I'm done with trying.

It doesn't take long, to look down the road, know where you're going, try to act kind, a smile on your load, they'll call you each time, try to keep strong, your soul is a window, the eyes have their song, you'll travel the miles, far away from home, let your face come alive, you're not that far gone, to hear the cock crow, how you've been wronged, if the sun doesn't shine, when riding the blow, nothing stops your fire, not to be around, they'll say what is owed, laugh from the ground, life's only a loan.

You don't get much view. from these streets, on this avenue, say you arranged the loans, introduced me to dancing queens, put jelly on my bones, tell me something new, about these scenes, like the money you blew, far away from home, drinking Bacardi Breezrs, you couldn't make toast, haven't got a clue, locked in those great dreams, you thought everyone knew, wonder where you'll go, who you'll get to believe, moving easy the flow, my dress is golden blue, i can't see the trees, am shrunken by your dues, guess i'll always be.

Now you've left home, they say it's your time, but where has it gone, you used to believe, everything's fine, better when you leave, tears lachrymose, are now not so kind, far down the road, jokes once your repartee, as a way to unwind, float cold on the street, wake to see what's done, achieve peace of mind, carry the pretty stones, rain starts to ease, there's light in the sky, it brightens the sea, fix a drink with Coke, sharper than wine, put on your coat, not yet gone Nine.

Live or die far or near, wine isn't cheap, but it takes away fear, before any whispered sigh, or hugs from a grenadier, brings me to this night, no drama of lonely piers, dances my wounds to sleep, on boards of inner tears, regular as plain sight, darkness makes me creep, closer to my birth right, what remains is clear, I've fallen in too deep, to remember previous years, loving makes me come alive breathes beside me on the heap, is this him I ask why what is bought so dear, when the moon seeps, is a story everyone hears and someone weeps.
