Lyrics
Once Is Enough
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.
It's sinister
I'd attempt a casual structure
Preceding interaction
Symphonic in persuasion
Noblesse oblige?
Each minister
Is just a drop compared with
Having double vision
It's desirable in part
Refuse the ruse
Deciding each devise
If you don't think twice
Once is enough, once is enough
Preparing its demise
It's something you'll devise
Once is enough, once is enough
In passing
You sprang a leak instead
You'd sooner see its piety
You'd replied in its course
Before you
Resume transmission
Deciding each devise
If you don't think twice
Once is enough, once is enough
Preparing its demise
It's something you'll devise
Once is enough, once is enough
You retiring
I'll respond with curtained thought
A pause for intermission
My advise is simple
