lyrics

She caught me in gold
bold in her gallantry
gold inner sanity
sold in her vanity

tearing holes in the terracing
covering the cold in cellophane
tampering kisses in tempering
the memory of tight followings

catching stars in smoke machines
falling back to empty dark scenes
keeping watch in case we're seen
seeping out of safe sentences

trenches dug in dazed wonder
waltzed aside and slighted asunder
under lights the noise fought blunder
till the night fell right in place

waste ripped waist apart
kicked up, killed chaiste
founded under false taste
hounded by responsibility

mated matron made full
for fool lost in pedantry
cavorted in sedantry
alighted from hedony
