I hear the footsteps sailing by Through the saline of my eye Gentle crack my mental mast Catching wind of sudden sin The sun it sets the moon it grins I thought her lips were soft and nice As they crushed me like a vice We all lie from time to time Heart in hand and tongue in sand I'll be your fool 'cause I'm your man Shipwreck I see it Islands in silence Swam Around around and now I want blood I see it The blood of swine And I am my enemy I see it Concoction of contortion Steady stands reality In the complexities of compulsion You think you have it made And passion pacifies Oh logic on the sway Soft thoughts and midnight locks Drop dead like a rat in flight Catch my reflection in the eyes I hear the angel but the devil's got the gin He says he's been to your apartment was he kind Kind to you
