Ricochet

After the demise of our beloved leader

Everybody knew that something had to give

Cassandra she told me but no one would believe her

I wish I had helped her more than I did



We tried to overcome the threat of the monster

We tried to kneel down and call up the beast

Maria, she told me that her kid had just appeared one day

I just can't tell who I adore the least



The rivers run astray, ricochet

Night feels just like day, ricochet

And everybody just walk away



In one side of my mind resides a controller

In one side of my mind revolves a relief

And one pain in my brain remains unchanged

I say, ?You cannot explain the grief?



Once in a while when the wind has slowed down

Me and the girls visit'struggle town

There's a shop down there selling skulls and powder

But don't ask any questions about her



You can't be a lover if you want to keep on using

What are you using that's stronger than the love

Sometimes I'm knocked out by the damage that you're doing

Knocked out, locked out, push comes to shove



Listen to the wind tearing at the windows

Watching how the white moon melts into the cloud

Important little tyrants, impotent little pharaohs

Men of sorrows lost into the crowd



The rivers run astray, ricochet

Night feels just like day, ricochet

And everybody walk away



So if the ladies ask you over to play

Just beware of the ricochet
