In your attempt to
Shut down
Tangled up in your machinery
No sound
Just the faceless press
Dear God
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best
Never mind the starting gun
cover's up the curtain's drawn
standing in
He's gone again
Pulls me with him each time
I should ask
You're bathed and crowned

Black velvet Elvis is dead
Looks down his crown on the
it's alright
got to tell myself it's alright
everything that I envied
Alison cries on a radio Monday
Lipstick goodbyes and a promise

What am I trying to restore
someone's drinking all alone
someone's left the TV on
I don't suppose

To T.V. screens and complex books
My inner world of reason
