Requiem

I saw a girl
Sitting down in the middle of the street
She looked content to greet
The carriages in the fleet
Her orphan gaze gave the trippers a complete maze

And now I don't know where she's been
She jumped in a van for a spin
“She'll come back and see you”
Beautiful dreamers do
She's my silent nightingale
Flies instead of stepping on nails

She sought a thrill
Filling the vacancy her soul
She fed her head like a hole
But bridges take their toll
She lose herself in her rock n roll song

And now I don't know where she's been
She gone again coz sin is in
Every hit was a mourning of the past
Never gonna be the same as the last one
Escape from pain is what she needs
Escape the living, she did succeed

Oh, lovely call me
Call me to the window at night
I sleep downstairs ~ No one will hear we
I wanna say “hi”

I look into your eyes
And I savor the taste of rose thorns
We hide together from the Nothing
And the strawberry patches under our feet
As we pretend the days away...
