Only a downstat

Personality problem

He would say things like 'I love you'

And cry real tears

Met him in some place

Like a home for old lovers

Where the cure is always death

And no-one ever leaves

He wore a number 7 badge on his collar

He would show it wth pride and say

'It means I can feel'

He'd bribe the warders

To send letters to someone

Who didn't even know his name

But said he'd read them anyway

And in the evening

He'd write poetry for people

Who deny he's alive

And say 'I'll mention that name'

A violator of the law of no feelings

They should be put in the chair

Until their eyes come in

If you have reasons

I might sell you my time

I'll leave it under the stairs

In a body of mine

Old memories are slowly fading out of me

We are the unknown and we are all you need

(P) 1979 Beggars Banquet
