Little baby in the dark
Waiting for your chance to start
For days on end, you've been alone

Beneath the roof and above the ceiling 
Just waiting for us to fill apace 
With things that may have meaning
That we not throw away for some reason
Where...

Prefer to hurt everyone except yourself?

Walking out the door when it gets too hot
And everything is perfect
Dark and blue lighting streaming into the blank faces glaring into the television of...

woman, oh woman
even after your
constant, daily
treatment of abuse
I demonstrated
I could have been
your karate kid.

taking blows

A basement of torture in the East, where I relish the lash,

Those days of faithful sidekicks have all but passed us by,
We’d rather watch car crashes or someone blown sky-high.

With cold, hard cash he manages to buy her loyalty
She is able to take advantage of every opportunity

Patrick O’Flanagan’s covert shenanigans
Make people ask where he gets to at night
There’s a perception that Patrick O’Flanagan
Visits a door with a glowing red light

Consider the rich man the wise man said
How soundly he sleeps upon his bed
And dreams
Of golden ponds
And silver streams
Of stocks and bonds
And cold hard cash
And other treasured trash
To stash
Within his pockets deep
While ten thousand hungry...

and had a few scuffs
drank wine and some beer

For a long time, we had black hell.
 
Now, we both exhale in green paradise.
 
Now, we live quiet as mice.

Not much fighting, like before.
 
Lots of loving and...
