I'm wide-eyed baby,
it's half past ten,
we are trying to decide
if we should do this again
tripped up,
slipped up,
no way out
only answer for convenience
is to let it all hang out
we lie here
silently,
we lie here,
patiently,
and I try to reconcile
the demon in my dreams,
but he stopped for the Friday special
and tripped over Saturday
I am wide-eyed baby
it's a quarter to eleven,
that glint you give me,
leads me to the back door of heaven,
we sit,
stare,
grin,
contemplate,
deviate,
try to pretend that we mean something
more than the dna you formulated into beings
we don't,
can you be a big boy,
and go back to reality?
please?
