you can go forwards
someone else goes back
you can defend
someone else attacks

well,
it is where i have been
taking a pinch a salt
like the cat that got the cream

she is just playing pinball
as we always suspected
there is a candidate for our heart
but they will never elected

and i wonder –
how many platforms
you could stand on
even, what if you are late
and the train has already gone

you have made dreams
out of lemonade bottles
and milk bottle tops
but on the opening night –
i felt like a flop

it is true –
the horse and carriage
has moved on
but if you come here
we can start to run

did you look at me –
when you held me tight
did you set anything free –
or think, i am not very bright
