He froze on the walk home
Decided it didn't mean a thing
No godless, headless knight
Is gonna bring him down with it
The plumber & the cable guy
Stay late for a dialogue
Only to pause when discovered me alone
Face down, eyes wide open
That fear before time becomes pocket change
And what am I but a link in the chain?
Rag Doll opens his mouth
And all he says his fluff
Keeps his lover in the cupboard
Just collecting dust
He let her out once
And all those words he used to love her for
Felt like acupuncture needles to the heart
And he was floored
The truth is funny 'cos it sets you free
But never lets you off the hook
And I know you've tried your alibi
But you just come off as a crook
Don't say that love is blindness
'Cos you know neither of the two
Bliss is ignorance's bitch
And darling, so are you
