No thanks. nevermind. ok... shut up.
I think I've fallen and I can't get up.
Covertly playing possum and then
"GRRR" "did I scare you?"
"let's do it again!"
"hey, you look funny when you dress like that!"
"what's that on your arm? do you have a bad cat?"
and other childlike questions they ask
before they're adults -- they grow up so fast...
there's a lampost on the corner and its light went out
there's a drowning girl who's warning us with every shout
there's a boy who's left behind with a killer in his mind
and oh so many decoys make him very hard to find
death is stalking nightfall
as the daylight you avoid
and the hush of talking might fall
as you slowly fill the void
with your dollies playing tiddly-winks as love cries at your door
shake your head and say you're dead, till her voice is heard no more.
but you'll never stop this song
this love goes on and on
let it pour into your soul
break your heart and make it whole
and I'm just your cheshire cat
"not all here" -- remember that?
but I'll give you time of day
here and there, along the way.
