Simple little wish

Simple Little Wish (M. McDonald and S. Wicken)



The night was hostile as a jungle under this capsized moon

You came busting through the trees and all the warriors swooned

Among the dunes in your mind's desert far past the cryptic trysts

You knew the whole time it was all about...



One simple little wish

The heat rose up to the rafters

Above your killing field

You left the footprints of a goddess

You filled the shoes you filled

superfluous by nature

You confused the strategists

Cuz you knew the whole time

It was all about...



One simple little wish

Like Adam saw in Eve

That made him dress in snakeskin

And spiral down the tree

Like a room full of Romeos

Each and everyone stabbing

Themselves to death

With a swizzle stick

From one simple little wish



Gazing through the windows behind the regal drapes

You blinded them with vision and twisted them into shape

And as the stupid grins of marionettes piled up on your dish

You knew the whole time it was all about one simple little wish



Sherman tanks for small talk shooting up the breeze

That blew with mumbled candour so they got down on their knees

Your gaze akin to bullets you smile at the facial tics

Cuz you knew the whole time it was all about...



The ballroom ballerinas mimic your simple little twist

And the poets hang on any word from your simple little lips



And the chefs fight to put the garnish on your simple little dish

And the priests are bored of hearing about...
