ON A BRIGHT, BRIGHT NIGHT

KNOWING THAT SOMEWHERE A NEW LIFE IS BEING PREPARED FOR HER

SHE WOKE UP THE NEXT MINUTE AND SHE WAS AGAIN 15 YEARS OLDER

FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN

SHE USED TO COLLECT NAPKINS WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL

TRYING TO FORGET WHAT SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, AND TO REMEMBER WHAT SHE HAS FORGOTTEN

THERE WAS AN ENEMY AND THERE WAS A WAY TO FIGHT IT

HER KEYS, HER LITTLE MIRROR, HER MONEY

A BEAR, A BADGER AND THREE BUTTERFLIES

SHE BLEW OUT THE CANDLE AND REMAINED SEATED IN THE ARMCHAIR

ANOTHER CRUCIFICTION THAT WON'T SAVE THE WORLD

WITHOUT ROOM TO WELCOME ANYBODY

SHE HADN'T HAD A LOLLIPOP FOR DECADES

SHE KEPT THOSE LETTERS IN A BOX, ALL OF THEM UNOPENED

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE

SHE JUST KEPT ON SINGING ALONG TO THE RADIO

THERE MUST BE SOMEONE DREAMING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW

THE CITY OF NOISE AND LIGHT

SHE USED TO PRACTICE THAT SMILE, BUT NOW SHE DOESN'T NEED IT ANYMORE

NEVER FORGET THE COLOURS

THE LAST SACRIFICE TO MOLOCH

TO DRINK GOLD, TO EAT GOLD AND TO BREATHE GOLD

HER LIFE, THE YEARS AND THE MONTHS, AND THEN THE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES

THE THIRD AND PROBABLY THE LAST TIME

HISSING BLUE FLAMES IN A CIRCLE

PRAYING FOR THAT DAY TO COME WHEN THE SUN DOESN'T GO DOWN

IT WAS LIKE WHEN SHE HAD TO JUST STAND THERE AND SAY GOODBYE TO HER FATHER

THE NOISE OF CHILDREN PLAYING IN AN INFLATABLE POOL

SHE ADORED IT, SHE WAS TERRIFIED BY IT, SHE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT
