Besotted duck

Hey lover

Another year has passed

But it's the same old story.

 

Like how the rabbit fell

And Alice flew

A pretty turn, a flaw in my mind.

 

But of course,

 

A lover is only worth a penny in the den 

A God that wields man.

So please bury me in pride, and dignity

 

Hey lover, when you walk over my grave

Turn and kiss me

Don't fall in whole

One heart is enough

 

When you run into my heart

In the false meadows of love

Please, keep my blood in your veins.

 

We fall, scramble, cry

You dig your claws into my soul

Oh my agony, in pain and seclusion

We fall, scramble, cry

You dig your claws into my soul

 

Lemon in my throat,

Acid in my brain

My hat won't work, mad hatter

Guess one's handiwork is enough to make one fall in deep

 

Street of love, 

Bed of roses

Make sure not to fall,

Oh, pure evergreen saint.

 

For my heart will rot in despair, 

Dear lover.
