Don't Look Now

Popular spoons
Sweeten the swoons
You know the drill
Right up until
They find you don't carry
Their itinerary around
It's such a sad
Beguiling thing
You've got it bad
It's not a fling
But you can't play the part
Without breaking your own heart into two
Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find
I've fought all the devils that wanted to change me and break me down
Don't look now
Look away
They make the rules
You don't want to sell out
You've got the tools
They don't allow but
They are no boundaries
Just recoupable royalties and myth
The lights go out
A thunder roars
A silly thing
You can't ignore
Till you've overstayed your welcome with those who've paid for
all your dressing up
Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you can find
I fought and resisted back when they seduced me and drugged me down
Don't look down
Look away
But can't you see there's nothing to collect?
Oh but tell me what did you expect?
It's so stupid and selfish all the same
And so sad you can't go again
Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find
I fought and resisted when they tried to change me around
But this dream's become so predictable it's hard to stay aground
Cut me some slack
Never look back
Don't look now
Look away
