A man walks into a bar
Jaws drop from near and far...

Ding dong merrily on high
Christmas cakes and mince pies...

Can you feel me yearning
Do you know how hard it is...

Laying foetal in the shadows
Defensive and victimised...

Empty out the oceans and let them all drain dry,
Orphan every being and listen to them cry...

I know where you are tonight
And I'm happy you're moving on...

I feel like a slave to this lonely beat
The one I keep playing, a tune on repeat...

Haunting cries echo in chasms of days
And loneliness smothers at night...

So this is it, we've reached the end
We're calling time on us...

I inhaled sharply
Flinched internally...

I really am so sorry
How perfect it would be...

Dolly please listen to me
You really are barking up the wrong tree...
