Eliots Friend

You’ve got a lark on the brain I’ve got a ghost in mine Shape of the shadows of things to come Half started is only half begun In the distance I hear a violin Loosely based on ragged knee Shades of grey floating free Insipid dreams are following me Took the tragic risk Death served cold On a porcelain dish Whitest whites darkest nights twist of fate Winding roads you can’t navigate Empty room bereft of grace With frozen eyes his lips embrace Sold your soul for the title role The bill’s come due What’s happened before you can’t undo You’re gonna pay his price The valley of deaths’ a fools paradise Nosferatu walks with death His dear dear friend, walks as death walks His dear dear friend Shapes have no form shades have no color Don’t need it no more, the almighty dollar The knifes in the block, the axe it swings Listen to the bells as they ring In for a penny in for a pound Penny for the old guy Leave it where you found .....it Strawmans’ head is full of hay Nothing new has come your way Treats you as his enemy While wearing a mask of integrity No ones gonna bring you round Black birds cry the perfect sound.
