Seeking the door to a new dimension
Admittedly there's some apprehension
Does love ever really lead to ascension?
Oh my Dear did I forget to mention?

Afraid to make a fool of myself again
An old Rooster afraid to approach another hen
What lies on this river of time just around the bend?
is it wrong to need a lover and a friend?

Now I'm back in the Tiger's den
Could this be the very last trend?
On a journey that will never end
Is there an answer to the signal I send?

You told me we would always be
As delightful as the deep blue sea
Now all this agony washing over me
Feeling actually like a hangman's tree,

Like a shadow just passing through
I sensed that darkness deep in you
You just had to punish someone new
A fool with a heart so gentle and true,

Make me the payload atop Saturn V
No one is guaranteed to get out alive
Only adulterers ever seem to thrive
Perhaps my time of death has arrived,

Is life just a sleigh ride to hell?
Just like a ghost and a wishing well
Story of my life too late to tell
Just a salesman with nothing to sell,

I knelt and then I spoke to God
Was I really forgiven? it just seemed odd
Did I get smacked down by the golden rod?
Talking to the dead below the sod,

Reeling from the sacred ceremony
Riding on an ancient spirit pony
Some go crazy when they're too lonely
Much too late to be her only.
