The street vendors
like wolves
pick out the weak
with their charities
and religions

Just one song for you
Everyone else
I normally manage to shake off


~ ~ ~


I hear your voices            everywhere
on the platform            inside the train
I believed I had departed


~ ~ ~


It's all the little hooks, isn't it
It's not so much that you let them slip away
it's what they take with them

You know what lads are like
– on a ladder, climbing higher
Guns for hire
