you have a short time. tell me about your life. where do you start. what do you leave out. how far do you want to go. how close do you want to get. will i understand. tell me your story. is your life like mine. will i be honest with you. if there’s another man. who will you choose. if you fall down. what will i do. tell me your story. tell it to me true. if you trust me. i can be everything to you. there’s a girl asleep in my doorway. she doesn’t love me anymore but she’s there anyway. she could never love a man who she could understand. and now here she is again. when the cards don’t fall her way. rewind back to when. it was better when we weren’t friends. and here she is again. asleep in my doorway. you’re the first addiction. i return to. my fall back position. tell me true. and name me twenty lovers. are there many others like me. i'm not the only one. as my world runs to the edge. what do i see. a glimmer. a tiny shimmer. a sign post up ahead. saying don’t turn back now. why is it the closer i get. the further you move away. is it me. or is it you. will it always be this way. your pleading eyes. and your heart securely fenced in. have you seen my sad little face in a hundred other men. is my mistake the same as theirs. are they the reason you know my fears. hypocrisy is a criminal. and it just got hitched. to the egotistical bastard and the greedy two-faced bitch. what’s good for the rest of us is never good enough for them. they stand in shallow waters. always ready to condemn. oh won’t you tell me. what gets you high. and in your moral universe. what colour is the sky. it’s just cheap conversation going nowhere. wasting my time. using up all my good lines. you are a witness to a crime. you're in the right place. a co-dependent co-conspirator. thirsty for clues. and you're up for the chase. you are prepared to be deceived. to suspend disbelief. which has always been the key. you're constantly reinforced. never taken for granted. always looking for a cause. you can be won or lost in a nano-second. turned on or off. you are a door left open.
