A LIVING STONE

OUT ALONG
THE BOULEVARD
LIFE IS SHORT
AND TWICE AS HARD
WHERE LIVING STONES
HIDE ALL THE LIES
DISCARDED THERE
BY PASSERS-BY

MIRROR SKIES
REFLECT OURSELVES
LIKE PLATES AND CUPS
ALL STACKED ON SHELVES
FOOLS PRETEND
TO LAUGH AND SMILE
BUT WE ARE DYING
ALL THE WHILE

MAKE BELIEVING
WE ARE FREE
WE DRINK THE WINE
AND SIP THE TEA
OR MAYBE SIP
THE WINE INSTEAD
I'M NEVER SURE
OF WHAT WAS SAID

LITTLE BISCUITS
FOR A MEAL
TOUCHED TO LIPS
OF COLD ROLLED STEEL
DAINTY BITES
INTO THE SKIN
KILLER LOOKS
LOVE AND SIN

SUSHI BARS
ALONG THE WAY
SINNERS GATHER
JUST TO PRAY
CHAMPAGNE BRUNCHES
CRYSTAL SPOON
AT SUPPER TIME
A SILVER MOON

COGNAC SMILES
AND SEXY CHAT
HANDS THAT GIVE
A LITTLE PAT
SOME TOGETHER
SOME ALONE
WILL SOON BECOME
A LIVING STONE
