One Cloud Away
it was always one cloud away
what do you do when everyway is the right way
what do you do when everyway is the wrong way
i used to know
now i don't know which way to go
I'm on a race only the slow wins
staring eyes and thighs marked with resting thunderstruck chins
between the wannabees and the hasbeens the joker's makeup cracks and grins
one has to be deeply shallow
, to miss beauty packing down south to the marrow
now it's time for spiritual eyeliners to masquerade the sorrow
my tomorrow promised me a smile to borrow
my piper subconsciously dropped his flute
life is a beautiful dantelle scenery to pollute
my wisdom , a pack of pearls ravishing the curves , the silhouette of her memory
a collage of lame loose endings unquenchable scenery forms our silver lining gallery
what a waste
what a waste
when you eat but can't taste
when a whole lifetime slowly slips in haste
a ladder and bench
how romantic the subtitles are in french
between the word and the noise
it all lies on the make up, it all lies on the illusionary poise
