Malefic Dowery

Love is not a debtor's prison,

You don't have to serve a sentence to pay back what you've been given

Now I live in fear of your schizophrenic genius,

It's a tempestuous despot that I can't seem to propitiate

Now I feel your provoking me with your fidelity

That your loyalty and affections are somehow a vulpine act of hostility

Now we're a bore, we're afternoon TV,

This thing our minds are screaming to defy

How can I bury this rebellion while proving that I'm,

You know, still your rock and roll ally



Once more I turn to my crutch for counsel and it won't disappoint me

I know it's the shadow cast by what's looming

And not the thing in itself that engenders fear



I was dreaming of the hunt,

You clapped your hands sharply twice to wake me up

Darkness was gripping the sky,

I knew I could still be your rock and roll ally
