I wanted just to call you but no way
You left me when you could have stayed
We could have been partners in a world gone astray
But for the other man with whom you strayed,

The world has become a stage for the insane
Entertaining to those without a brain
Escpecially to those who regard God as profane
Remember blood coagulates on the lion's mane,

I thought I was saving you at first but I was wrong
Soon found I wasn't where I belong
It was an idiosyncratic swan song
To decypher all the lies you must be strong,

A prison planet for you and I to endure
Sad that so many could be that unsure
A man soon finds that a woman's heart is not pure
Whoever who he can trust will become fewer and fewer,

Wars and rumors of wars more frequently abound
There will never be another band with a "Beatles" sound
"Oh look Mommy this old picture of Daddy I found."
I am the fool of love who surely must be crowned,

Today I lost my way in the light of day
Skewed by crushing memories and hearsay
Another morning of rising sun in the bay
But no lover with whom I can have a pleasant stay,

Love is like a presription that soon runs out
Doesn't cure anything but that's not what it's about
Some lonely men and women scream and shout
They dive into temptation though they were devout!

Her slender form beneath that silk dress
Summons a lonely man's need for tenderness
Connections between man and woman are often a near miss
The end result my friend will be loneliness,

A glass of wine and then another
All the pain it must smother
When your wife had an affair undercover
Then the future dissolves once you discover,

Thought I was aware thought I knew you well
"Welcome," you should have said, " to my living hell."
The signs are there's no need to sell
Don't ever ask for whom tolls the bell.
