Another Faithful Metaphor
       (C) 1992 N.Thomas

        Blood for lust - I'm tired of all this restlessness
        Hungry words mean nothing to the heartless bitch
        That eats away my soul
        Food for thought; a spine to shake the covers
        And the head that hangs upon the door
        Reminds me of the metaphor

        Red Admiral; crushed inside your careless hands
        Another fruitless alphabet
        To burn out all your dreams and turn away
        Food for thought; a spine to shake the covers
        And the head that hangs upon the door
        Reminds me of the metaphor

        Hand across the mouth
        So dare not speak those immortal words
        Lest you fail to warn yourself
        Slip of the tongue and you give it all away
        Food for thought; a spine to shake the covers
        And the head that hangs upon the door
        Reminds me of the metaphor
