Your grip slips in the guillotine -
A fresh missive for the sucker scene.
The air is thick on the pedestal,
That's just the pain and pleasure principle.
I'm a one-percenter, the main eventer.
I'm a shooter, man!
I'm the One Man Gang.
In a hall of mirrors with a rope of sand.
I was a true believer.
Never meant to let this get so far out of hand.
A little death in the tv gloom.
Fugazi sitting in the waiting room.
The haze of something coursing through my spine.
Just play me Green or maybe Out of Time.
I'm a baby boomer, an early bloomer.
From you to me, my flamingo on some foreign isle far out of reach.
In a hall of mirrors with a rope of sand.
I was a true believer.
Never meant to let this get so far out of hand.
A hall of mirrors and a game for fools.
I shouldn’t cry about it.
Never meant to let this make me lose my cool.
