Was it only my imagination | |
or were we once agreed, in full accord, | |
that we would meet in time for reconciliation, | |
for the scratching of old debts | |
and the settling of old scores? | |
Once upon a time you think you'll live forever – | |
only goes to show, in truth, that you | |
don't even know you're born. | |
Round and round we trod our drilled, diminished circles, | |
measured out our days in pleasantries – | |
what treasures we forswore. | |
It was only my imagination, | |
I thought I'd got away with what I'd done before. | |
I'm unprepared for this investigation. | |
I'm so scared of what's in store. |
Was it only my imagination | |
or were we once agreed, in full accord, | |
that we would meet in time for reconciliation, | |
for the scratching of old debts | |
and the settling of old scores? | |
Once upon a time you think you' ll live forever | |
only goes to show, in truth, that you | |
don' t even know you' re born. | |
Round and round we trod our drilled, diminished circles, | |
measured out our days in pleasantries | |
what treasures we forswore. | |
It was only my imagination, | |
I thought I' d got away with what I' d done before. | |
I' m unprepared for this investigation. | |
I' m so scared of what' s in store. |
