Cold Turkey By: Noah Eaton 7/10/02 Look at all the antibiotics and anesthetics Look at the equating of honesty with hypocrites Look at those who find smiles to be superstitions Look at saints changing their names to seek their own salvation Look in the hospital where always rings an answering bell Look into these halls where sleepless children search for a wishing well Look through the antependium to see the fallen movie star travail Look in rooms where childrens lost innocence can't even be learned again in Braille And when you watch the summer come But go before you can net your butterfly dreams So there's not any nectar remaining And when your life is a salad buffet But there's no dressing for marinade And you're left with that cold turkey again... Look up to see a child's balloon sailing away like an unknotted regret Look down abashedly at every one in a million taken down in russian roulette Look around at the sight at tomorrows hard distaff Look at the sight of another looking back on all of this just to laugh And when you watch the summer come But go before you can net your butterfly dreams So there's not any nectar remaining And when your life is a salad buffet But there's no dressing for marinade All you're left with is that cold turkey again Just when I let go of the trapeze Was the time when I saw everything become blurry Just when I thought it was too hard to handle They strap an apron over my chest and hand me a ladle Stirring through the soup of yesterday... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (07-10-2002 09:51 PM).] |
