Here I am, on my own and yet Still with him, 'cause I can't forget The ring spells out the start it purchased The lies are told and truth emerges What I thought was right was wrong I couldn't do what I thought I could do What everyone thought was right and wrong Are you confused? The promises don't matter anymore Nobody else keeps them, for sure Sick of being dragged through the grit Looking for the golden truth in a sea of shit With a brass snorkel - he aims by stealth A guarantee of precious self-assurance A two-headed monster jealously guarding himself With a woman of chances Make you a deal - well, do you care? I'll be this, you be that, we can share Look no further than an instant, please Forget your past, non-identity, false memory Forget your future, stupid hopes, ridiculous dreams Here's a world you won't forget, the bright Silver star shooting past a red moon, it seems The aquamarine water is black at night The waves in the ocean are comforting Oh, for them to wash over me, cleansing They kill the reflections on the water Tonight - that night - no keeping order The bag that holds my wedding dress Still filthy with a torn hem to anoint Another costume, anyway, confess No credit to repair it, no point Get in and come for a spin Do everything; you thought you'd win Life's nothing like the promises shout Let your precious idealism be spun out In a hedonistic world of sex Do it now. Can you do it? Live the lies? Are you just like everyone you expect? Are you relieved? Are you so surprised? You yearned for him from the first moment You ever saw him, wanted him, a lament Because you hoped he would want you too But he couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't do He lied He lost He lived He won |
