Stools and Rules

Closer专辑

  • What is a present without the wrapping paper
    What is a hiding place that's been exposed
    What is a clown that doesn't cut a caper
    What is a song that's never been composed

    What is a book without enclosing cover
    What is a letter written with no ink
    What is adultery with no secret lover
    What is a glass for one who cannot drink
    What happens between the two stools
    That doesn't fit in the pigeonhole
    Is it there the exceptions that prove the rules
    Define the things beyond control

    What is a mirror that breaks into a thousand pieces
    And seven years of bad luck if you've never had such
    What is Virgin Mary if she didn't give birth to Jesus
    What is a stripper that refuses to undress
    What is a pipe dream without a future chapter
    What is nostalgia without memories of the past
    What is "cops and robbers" if no one is the captor
    What is permanence that doesn't last
