Confronted with the fact I was alone,
I quickly lost my faith, but with patience of a saint,
I sought to know all of life's temptations.
My ambition laced with acceptance of my place.
The meanness of the world prematurely lined my face,
My words excuses for emotion.
To play both sides of the game,
I knew to turn away from everyone.
I left my love for another one.
I met a woman and fair enough she seemed.
I knew her breast and legs, her back, her neck and knees,
And at her feet nightly I would fall.
And for my queen I held a curious disdain.
We entered without names, left hearts free of shame,
And upon my world she let her fury rain.
Sometimes things all seem the same.
I knew to turn away from everyone.
I left my love for another one.
*la la la*
Like a politician with an evening to spare,
Forgotten by my muse, I had nothing left to use.
This is it and that's that and fair's fair.
