granting wishes from above, Take back the instant when you brushed him off your shirt You tried to drag him to the trash You tried to trade him in for cash Take back the instant when you blew him off your path With a kiss reading 20 below zero Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go Cold, cold moment when the first doubt shot through your head A black ink drip running through your veins Start hello to drift bringing you sleeping Pregnant second dripping through the hour-glass When the lure of men who would be kings, made you lose the man who was wearing you ring He didn’t match your luscious thoughts tonight You couldn’t look him in the eye Awkward is the embrace when it’s not tight, not tight And so the jewel you once both had is left crumpled like a collapsed lung When all you had to do was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sun Sir, you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate But you were just born in the right place, Just born in the right race, You’re climbing Mount Everest now, Favors are yours to give, lies are yours to live Take back the instants that lead you to believe, that the earth shakes cuz you’re not happy, that the sun rises cuz you’re not sleepy You got the loudest parade in town, clowns, assassins and crooks You got ladies in see-through gowns, reading extracts from your books Beggars are trailing at the back, Waving from the cardboard float, You’re thinking that from up close Statistics can be such a drag, Your cup is full now, blood is the color of this wine, And it’s dripping from the ceiling, and it’s making the chandeliers ring, And the instant the ballroom overflows, Your thrones turn into your gallows.
