Another time, a different page, when ignorance was all the rage
I used to count my blessings to know you
It's mouths like yours that spread disease
Everyone in your sight is weak at the knees
Waiting for your true intentions to show through
Call in the exterminator this place is full of bugs
Rats show their faces later when you've already pulled the plug
Boys like you don't wear no crowns and girls like you don't wear no frowns
They're only jesters in someone else's court
Discontented but entertained, dangerous but easily contained
Looking to someone to hold their fort
Nowhere to run nowhere to turn after all your bridges burn
Got no shoulders you can cry on and no one you can rely on
Apologies the most that you'll admit
You and I can meet where the avenues hit the streets
And we'll settle our score of problems once and for all
I'll meet you in the park an hour after dark
And I'll try to talk but you'd rather see a brawl
When your heroes and villains converge
Another picture will emerge
Did you ever think that this would end with such a long goodbye?
