Radka

I addressed the final envelope
And your face was on the stamp
I live in your apartment now
I found out recently by chance
Sometimes I'm forced to wonder
If it was chance,or by design?
Did I really make that shot?
Was that decision really mine?
Compelled at times to dwell upon
The Universe that's me
The collisions and the gravity
Big Bang or destiny?

Allthe sad young men
Go back to work on Mondays
They've lost their hearts
Their credit cards
They lost their heads
Like Grecian Gods

The two of us
Two of a kind
Turn off the light
Pretend we're blind
When nothing else
Can take the past away
Nothing really takes
The past away

I scaled a cliff to find a ledge
Where only midnight sons could rest
Above the surf I heard your voice
On a borrowed tape casette
And now I'm forced to guess
If that was chance,or by design?
If the cards had been arranged
Was that decision really mine?
Compelled again to dwell upon
The Universe that's me
My gravity,my catastrophies
Big Bang or destiny?

O Radka,I'll never find
Out why our lives
Became entwined
Your voice a ledge
For me to find
A place to nest
A troubled mind
The two of us
Two of a kind
Turn off the light
Pretend we're blind
When nothing else
Can take the truth away
No nothing ever takes
The past away

No morphine shot
No herbal root
Sharper than a
Sepent's tooth
Insults hurled
Like razor blades
The blood congeals
But the sores remain
Can't forgive
Once you crossed
That line
Blown every chance
To reconcile
Dishes hurled as
Worlds collide
Nothing left to
Take the truth away

I'm living in your childhood home
Near The Palace by the park
Still listening to your old casette
As the bats fly through the dark
