Headlights curve ahead and leave a trace to their glow
with loves songs gone doppler on the radio
cross a man in dull sorrows
keeps the ground with his eyes
callous from the sentiment passing by
but oh drama by light
the shadows cast of this man
you'd swear he's secret acting
a thespian.
Under street lamp here later
jagged fence an upturned saw
sex and violence confused
the alleycats call
Pillow feathers drifting away
in what the breeze and the curtain's lace play
clear as the sun's come and beacons the day
he can't love you
he can't stay
