We hearby conduct
This post-mortem
He was a hot house flower to my outdoors men
Our maladies was such
We could not cure them
And so a touch that was my birth right became foreign
Come one come all
It’s happening again
The empathatic hunger descends
Will tell no-one
‘cept all of our friends
We must know how did it end?
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
We learn the right steps to different dances
And fell victim to interlopers glances
Lost to game the game of chance, what are the chances?
Soon they’ll go home to their husbands
Smuck ’cause they know they can trust him
Then fever sleep calling their cousins (Oh, oh)
Guess who we ran into at the shops?
Walking in circles like she was lost
Didn’t you hear?
They called it all off
One gasp and then
How did it end?
Say it once again with feeling how the death rattle
Breathing, silenced as the soul is leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost in me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G
It’s happening again
How did it end?
I can’t pretend like I understand
How did it end?
Come one come all
It’s happening again
The empathatic hunger descends
Will tell no-one
Except all of our friends
But I still don’t know how did it end?
