    The light's a-blinding,
    The streets a-winding,
    Stuck in a city,
    My teeth a-grinding.

    The sun's long gone,
    And the moon`s not yet out
    There's a multitude wrong
    And your own self to doubt

    The picture's all wrong
    Although no one will say so;
    There's multiple shadows
    And my own orange halo.

    I've got too much to loose
    By being a loser.
    Too much to choose from
    But IÍm not a chooser.

    A fickle curled fish
    On the palm of a hand.
    A dry bench to sit on
    But the option to stand.

    The alcohol`s rising,
    It's lighter than blood,
    Thicker than air,
    But lighter than cod.

    The chips in my stomach
    Are churning like butter
    As a hand holds my arm
    And a mouth starts to stutter,

    Why are you like this?
    What's with the switch?
    Why did you screw up then?
    You know we're not rich.

    I push him away
    But he sticks like glue.
    He can't get the picture:
    "We're" just "Me" and "You."

    Dawn comes early.
    I ring up my mum.
    She sounds sympathetic,
    Her words are: "Just come."
