Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was a life we all knew An empty room that very soon was full He said the drugs don't work, don't get me close enough So he turned to prayer Spread his mat on the floor and through the incense smoke he said Messiah, come quick there's been a fire The situation looks dire for miles and miles I just want to look after her Beautiful and delicate child, smile Glimpse the lovers and the governments be still A moments glance, a second chance come true Beneath the haunted moon, across the purple sky, he hears the sound The sound of his own voice, the sound of melancholy, it's saying Lately, I just can't seem to think straight Wish I could wish it all away, to a safer place Don't say that it has to be this way Because I don't know how long I have to wait This climate got me changing my diet Stop for a minute don't fight it, higher and higher I can't stand all the silence Don't understand the science, such violence
