Turning into a king
Baying at the moon
Seeking fame and fortune
Just to drag one’s weight
And risk complacence
When you think you’ve made it
Buzz in the draughts
Usher in the alternative
Rise up one should
He’s classy actually
Or else take the sap
As it comes
Again and again
You see it the deep blue
Of tricky fireworks
And you even feel them a little better
In times of eclipse
From one day to the next
You find you can’t make it up
From scratch like that
Catching such a long shot on the volley
As it comes
Again and again
As it comes
Best as you can
It’s cruel and artless
Impartial, bless ‘m
Like an arrow
Like a stake
It’s good for memory
How do you feel being in the middle?
Hey comrade
If the die is cast
To the tunes of masquerade
One can always laugh it off
And all along the draughts
You see lovers
That still can transform their nerves
Into tasty posies
Seasons there will be
Torrid ones and wan ones
I can still keep your name
I can also say I like it
