and they struck him down set to coast
as you go - walking - to find out
sneaking arouns part of the needing to
know how it turned out well he just
stood there copping scenes no stage or
so it seemed like he knew it all the time
just had to lay it on the lin he said "I
took my heart out in spades - it never
worked anyway" and that's why he's
gone - he's gone kept it all in sight -
murdering the night one hand to let the
other go under your back turned to the
light - knowing it's not right a stand for
all the power of wonder he said "keep
that love away - it's stronger than the
hate oh don't you let it come any closer"
harder than a day oh joe - is a dream...
