Tiddly Winks and Nothing More
Tiddly Winks upon the floor
something less and nothing more
I hear their clinks in the rain
hiding something our minds refrain
Tiddly Winks on the ground
the corpse lays there without a sound
Always this and that galore
something less and nothing more
Tiddly Winks you begin to lie
you once told me nothing dies
childhood dreams gone to naught
something less you'd have me thought
Tiddly Winks I will not learn
the lies hidden secretly and for now i yearn
all those things you had me ignore
were not something less and nothing more
