Love don't have any place

And crime don't have any face.

We live in a political world

Icicles hanging down

Wedding bells ring and angels sing

And clouds cover up the ground.

Wisdom is thrown in jail

Leaving no one to pick up a trail.

Where mercy walks the plank

Life is in mirrors, death disappears

Up the steps into the nearest bank.

The one we can see and feel

Under the microscope

Turning and trashing about

As soon as you're awake you're trained to take

What looks like the easy way out.

Or put up against the wall.

Everything is hers and his

Climb into the frame and shout God's name

But you're not even sure what it is.
