The Occasional Flicker |
| No, I don’t want sympathy, |
| I just want somewhere for these sins to go |
| Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me |
| He mentioned something of moving in, |
| I conversed once with him and yes |
| He related to me how necessity is evil’s mother |
| He has no father, |
| only victims weak or strong. |
| I hope this won’t take long |
| I was right the first time, |
| I’ll put it right with thirst now |
| Well, you might say I’m trying to redeem myself and in a way |
| I think that’s true, but I’m just trying to bite off more than those |
| That chew more than I do |
| You could say that I’m a bitter man |
| and once again, I think that’s true, |
| I will remain so until I better those |
| that know more than I do |
| It kind of reminds me of that burning feeling |
| I used to get |
| What? |
| You know, that little problem I used to get What |
| Are you still getting trouble with this? |
| Yeah, not all the time or anything |
| Like it was? |
| Yeah, sometimes |
| Are you sure it’s not heartburn? |
| No, it’s definitely not heartburn |
| It’s just a little matter of a burning, |
| a little matter of a burning nature |
| It’s not arson, it’s not arson |
| It’s OK it’s my problem I’ll deal with it myself |
