Perhaps a distraction
Or even a hint
When you tell another
The things you say
(My only wish)
Is that you loved me…
But that’s just one too many manhattans
The ground swept out to fight
And the bricks have lost their minds
She’s turned into the paperboy
Though her papers never show
The dying art of the secret
Standing alone in the hallway
I never got her to tell
