Damage Case |
Ten to close and it’s always December |
The cat drags in what time forgot to remember |
I never forget this tattered number, You said |
Haven’t you got anything a little stronger? |
Stare into the void of you where time stands still and I know |
There ain’t no modern man for you |
Mesmerized by hollow eyes, not healthy I know |
Applause long gone but here I’m hanging on every word |
On the dark stage where the script stops |
And the tragedy starts to show |
Infatuation high |
Fires rise in pinpoint eyes |
Like something once beautiful, studied and objectified |
Something old & spat out, you walk in. Oh where you been? |
And what were you? |
What was this promise that never came true? |
Bit parts in forgotten frames, monologues still memorized |
Incantations to turn back time |
I looked you up, I watched them all |
Same face same eyes as this reprise |
They might be giants, they might be gods |
Or just a damage case on a 30 year drunk |
So check the gate |
There ain’t no modern man for you |
Mesmerized by hollow eyes, not healthy I know |
The applause long gone but here I’m hanging on every word |
On the tightrope where the script stops |
And the desperation starts to show |
Name | Year |
