One more drink, I promised, then I'm done
One more smoke, then I'm done
This is getting tedious
The lie is breathless, with a negative outlook
I'm getting high in a smoky room
In love with the moon
Music is playing in the background
I'm beatific, moving with the sound
The night holds its gaze
I don't have to elucidate, I'm sedated
Being gormless
Time moved like acid
Time moved like acid
Time moves like acid
Time moves like acid
Like cars speeding on the motorway
It's an oracle
Hair like a river
The dog that nuzzled closer
Under the fruit tree
Struck down with lethargy
Past the permafrost
I did the exchange, took the iridescent gem
I broke the ice and the conversation went well
Bank notes fell like leaves to the floor
In clouds of smoke
I remained hospitable, as per usual
I play the fool
I'll do it till the day I drop dead
I couldn't hurt anymore
I can't change the ruling
I've ruined my reputation
I've brushed off my feelings
Without demur
I'm praying to the Heaven above
Breaking the bulwark, in need of oxygen
I'm maudlin, cut open like a chasm
It's an omen, here's to hoping
The machine has malfunctioned
Like a historian, eating a croissant
Facing the sharp edge
Acerbic winds.
