AWOL Lyrics

Three dozen cycles, give or take a sum
The sum of that experience how to keep running
O I know justice, it's a birthright if you're born right
And I know how handsome is that trick of the light
So don't be mistaken in thinking I'll do right
Given the chance to do wrong again and again again and a...
..gain summer romeos casing the park,
By the uniform urinals of love's rural province.
O don't you know time, with its petty vial of sands
Inscrutable face and merciless hands
And don't you know love it's a whirlwind of feathers,
Tickles you to your nethers and leaves a terrain of despair
And I know when grief goes unchecked,
There's a kind of relief in the wreckage for the wrecked
Weren't you alone last time I saw you?
How do you keep running from the world and the war
O I know young fathers who once were like soldiers
AWOL in flung places or without standing orders,
Alarming approaches to time
And it's killing no victimless crime again and again again and a...
Monday night, goodies and the doctor
Now that bath time's over, time for pyjamas
O I know self pity, it begins with nostalgia
And you'll die of melancholy if the dolor don't get ya
And I know a poem on a wall next to a picture
Of a dick and a fanny by a smear of regret
And it sings of its own long demise
Something 'bout imperium and a new sun will rise,
O please don't go with those horrible guys
They only want one thing
O please don't go with those horrible guys
They only want one thing again and again
Again and again again and again
