Released, at last, from utter lust
Of other naked bodies
Rational & reconciled
I fondle my own flesh before me.
Half asleep, self-sufficient pain no more
Half asleep, make-believe my fantasy’s on shore
Un-der-world,
Praise the underworld.
Paid my bills, took out the garbage
Daily round of sadness
Devoid my portrait of vexations
Jacinthe in my bed.
Half asleep, self-sufficient pain no more
Half asleep, make-believe my fantasy’s on show
Un-der-world,
Praise the underworld.
But if, there was a shred of a hope
You would lend me your coat
With a smile.
But if, there was a shred of a doubt
I wouldn't be discounted
This way, again, and again
Again – and again – and again.
Everybody’s pregnant
With sophisticated minds
Where were you when I was sinking?
Were you deaf or blind?
Half asleep, self-sufficient pain no more
Half asleep, make-believe my fantasy’s on show
Un-der-world,
Praise the underworld.
