Lyrics
In Brief Visitation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I still need someone to love
Someone outrageous, someone to make me laugh
Someone who fell from above
To channel my hopes and write me an autograph
Here on my heart, engraved dedication
The fall guy was here, in brief visitation
I still need someone to love
In brief visitation, the fall guy was here
Dangerous affections sublime
Smother objections with infinite kindness passed
Between us, a steadying sail
Never to flutter, never to break the mast
Write on my heart, engraved dedication
The fall guy was here, in brief visitation
Dangerous affections sublime
In brief visitation, the fall guy was here
In brief visitation, the fall guy was here
They still need someone to hate
To brand with harsh accusations, to scare
The many and even the few
Who flock to the party but turn from the glare
When caught in the headlights and taken to task
Cowardly persuasion behind the life mask
They still need someone to hate
In brief visitation, the fall guy was here
