Had a sense it couldn't last
Watched the wonder wander past
Held it briefly, set it free
There is a space above me
Everything will come and go
There is a curve that I don't know
Don't need it otherwise but
No-one reads the book of lies and
No-one looks into the void as
Anything but paranoid and
Anything that you would be will
Swerve and hurt eventually
And I'm ungood if I can't shout
Without the vowels or the label out
Escorted from my desk
Unable to unheed
From heroine to heroin
Cash out and head on in to
Burlesque and snake-oil charm
Flashing lights and fakir calm
Shine your knives and sinecures
Your red-top wives, your gurning poor
As ye sow so shall ye find your
Car ...is burning at the mine
Watched the wonder wander past

Anything but paranoid and
Anything that you would be will
Swerve and hurt eventually
And I'm ungood if I can't shout

Shine your knives and sinecures
Your red-top wives, your gurning poor
As ye sow so shall ye find your
