|
All this tenderness has come to nothing |
|
All that we require is being rearranged |
|
I've no wish to look to the future |
|
For my expectations will no doubt be changed |
|
Just rolling along on the rest of the waves |
|
My statements and strategies are quickly dismissed |
|
Poisoned pens in invisible paper |
|
Steel knuckles concealed by velvet fists |
|
What is the chance of us living |
|
Some of our simplest dreams |
|
Are all the structures we build here |
|
Really as frail as they seem |
|
The dying are the lovers of this modern world |
|
The power and the glory survives |
|
With radioactive bargaining |
|
And the valueness of our lives |
|
My turn to crumble |
|
My turn to fall |
|
From so very humble |
|
To nothing at all |
