|
Like the promise of a grey day dawning |
|
Like all the dreams I've never had |
|
Like I'm working as the beast of burden |
|
Just like Sisyphus I know where I stand |
|
Like I need another rude awakening |
|
With all your caterwauling in my ears |
|
Like I know where all the money comes from |
|
Just like the man said 'Here my dear' |
|
Like I need another cute Demelza |
|
Like I need to be a gentlemen |
|
Like I need another sweet Lolita |
|
Like I need another Jezebel |
|
'Love is the flame of burning brandy' |
|
I take a drink from your poisoned cup |
|
Like I need another Mata Hari |
|
Like I need to see those eyes close-up |
|
Like I need another 'brief encounter' |
|
Like I need another fresh start |
|
Like I understand your indignation |
|
Like you care about my wounded heart |
|
Like I need another misadventure |
|
Like I need another dead-end trail |
|
Like I need another misdirection |
|
Like I need another fairy-tale |
|
Like I bring a plague on all your houses |
|
Just like I'm Herode or 'the king of Misrule' |
|
Like I need another stark reminder |
|
Like I'm Jonah or The April Fool |
|
Like I need to make another swan-song |
|
Like I need another 'sordid boon' |
|
Like I need another born-again virgin |
|
Cut my heart out with a wooden spoon |
|
Like a ballad for the disenchanted |
|
Like a sonnet for a long-lost friend |
|
Like a requiem played on my heartstrings |
|
Like you're the last word and this is the end |
