Holland, 1945
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as
Outcome
seventeen years in the city
static clinging to the ceiling
never did I think it would come to this
(outcome is different than I expected)
never did I think it would come to this
(outcome is different than I expected)
bright cops and cheerleaders
eyebrows painted on their heads
a mouthfull of rotting cavities
drinking coca-cola in the street
never did I think it would come to this
(outcome is different than i expected)
never did I think it would come to this
(outcome is different than I expected)
shot in the leg
shot in the leg
my leg is a bone
nobody home
my hand is a wire
the skies are fire
the drums are beating
pistols and jeans
left for dead
left for dead
left for dead
dead as a fly
