This Asylum

What do I love? Well let me see
There's a whale's carcass washing in from the sea
What do I love? Well, let me see
There's a tiger in the grass just staring at me,

All my life it's been the same
Bathed in love and an inch from shame
She's walking out but no one is to blame
This asylum unfolds frame by frame,

What do you get by depending on someone?
Just more grief and my faith undone
Just ask the homeless why they're on the run
She's got her hair wrapped up in a bun,

What do I love? Well, let me see
Cupid's got a sniper rifle aimed at me
When I was little Santa set me free
Sitting in the dark while she ignored my plea,

Feeling a bit fatigued in my blue suit
The crowds are rabid as they riot and loot
Courts refuse to hear your evidence it's all moot
Do they kill you first before you try and shoot?

What do I love? Well, let me see
I can feel the love like the stinging of a bee
What do I love? Well, let me see
Taxed to death by the leftist party,

Her lips were cold and her gaze was bleak
No sympathy when I heard her speak
Truth is rare unless it's a news leak
If you're brave and right they call you a freak,

What do I love? Well let me see
How about real estate in the Sargasso Sea?
Maybe I can recall just one fond memory       

Paid her for her services her name was Emily.
