#get alone

and when love came to us twice

and lied to us twice

we decided to never love again

that was fair

fair to us

and fair to love itself.

     we ask for no mercy or no

     miracles;

     we are strong enough to live

     and to die and to

     kill flies,

attend the boxing matches, go to the racetrack,

live on luck and skill,

get alone, get alone often,

and if you can’t sleep alone

be careful of the words you speak in your sleep;

and

ask for no mercy

no miracles;

     and don’t forget:

     time is meant to be wasted,

     love fails
