lyrics

When I am alone
And I walk myself back to the hovel
I watch the petals peel off,
I will try not to hover or grovel
Life is slow and never makes any sense
Wind up the winch,
Wince in the pinch
Suck the scent

Love is hellbent
On heaven's scent
but heaven's spent
Yes heaven's spent

When I am a waste
and I wheel the wimp into his place
Traipse til my toes fall off
Into the mountains all laden with lace
The pace increases
All peace it ceases
When hope seems deceased
The mutt leaves the leash in pieces

The mutt leaves the leash.
