You live life by drips, yours is not a big sea, the blue light hid, only fools hesitate, bring each day few gifts, it lets you dissipate, latticed with fibs, all just a wheeze, where your truth lies bid, this is no child’s game, dancing around your greed, your cherished ways, what about the kids, how they are squeezed, while you're gone adrift, wings won't striate, their flight on the breeze, can't wait to get away, if you knew how to live, we wouldn't need, to hide from your lips, nor walk unsseing.

His lips twist like knives, he is not forgiving, his eyes embrace the tide, what else is new, is it me he's kidding, on trips to secret venues, my mother says stay wise, he'll make you earn the living, many a tortured night, no love runs smooth, his tobacco tongue of lies, maybe it's all true, maybe she's right, he's fresh alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, he delights the whole crew, laughter's in his grinning, my nails are bright blue, I dance the river wide, my fame belongs to winning, nail him with my smile, he'll cave in.

I float on the breeze, heaven's in my soul, no need to say please, am witness to your plight, still less our home, with your weary lies, nothing new to me, better that i go, with this sense of ease, you mark many a night, beseiged by shadows, you won't hear me crying, a taste of release, I strike a cheerful tone, saves me some dignity, it just feels right, escaping the loans, takes time to get wise, just goes to show, when I'm off the leash, you know in your bones, best not to speak.

Brilliant great crows, caw out your name, summer's in full flow, you want to be free, is this really your game, how to live happy, give what you don't know, register your shame, find your own hollow, dissolve in the sea, only fools act tame, it's not in your creed, to number each bone, circle every day, taste marshmallows, stones, flowers, pieces, obtain drunken oblates, swear your great grief, weep as you go, take your share of blame, drink whisky you're told, am sick of your fame.

In darkness and grain blue, please give me a sign, rid me of this cuckoo, is it me gone cold, others see the light, maybe some you've told, my tears are tapping shoes, why waste crying, you are such bad news, cant be bothered to scold lightning fills the sky, good times hard to hold, with your spinning hoops, eyes in constant flight, care becomes your issue, it makes me feel bold, you castigate my life, just get out this home, I will fix a fuse, explode all your lies, all the hopeless truths, bells ring on the wold, strangers will ight fires, I am the god of old, who knows i'm right?

These waters groan, I whisper your name, your ship has gone, don't know what to do, a brilliant stain, covers your truth, can you ever atone, what's sought in your name, now I'm alone, how unlovely is the news, that echoes in your place, wish I'd never met you, whatever has flown, look over the waste, can't believe we're done, the sea is lemon blue, my face is drained, you've joined another crew, find another home, you'll always be the same, God knows I'm strong, but not the same.
