 Griff
your silver tounge laughs at the clowns of our age
 Ariff                                           
a slow production line of cheap shots from

both sides shot from the hip 
 Ariff

 Griff
knives sold to the worst of devils we 
 Ariff

A         G          E        G             D
now can I share that pillow            with you love?
 Griff 
they've got us in fits to find a way

out of this, exploded view of a life once so

mental ways are drawing my innocence to a   close
