i knew a girl i didn’t know / then, everything was was beautiful / soon, every drink was fizzing flat / still she could dance for the thrill of it / for what it’s worth she tried to live/ tried to live among the parasites growing thin on baby fat / living life and living death / telling truth and telling lies / horror stories for lullabies / and when the past is wearing thin /she can just begin again / and so the girl is back again / as plain as day invisible / and though she said without a sound, she made a point impossible / though every dog is set to bite / and all the tongues are made to lash / a blinking eye can get escape / fixed in a light that starts to flash / there was a moment before the moment / before that time
