I said yes, I said yes, I said yes   I prayed a thousand times yes   And the no that was hanging over the buildings   Faded like the moon at dawn      When I was young I thought I was facing   A very aware world ahead   I didn't know it was going to be   Beware of dogs instead      I said no, I said no, I said no   I said no a million times to no   But the yes that was in it's last breath   Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu      When I was young I didn't know   That one can only read life in braille   I was still struggling   To catch life on it's tail      I said why, I said why, I said why   I asked why for the billionth time   And my bone slowly lost it's moist   Like a leftover coke bottle on the street      Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing   On the square, thats my bone   It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud   Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard      I said yes, I said yes, I said yes   I prayed a thousand times yes   And the no that was hanging over   Faded
