Both of us fools Li'l jewel of unadorned fire, You're walking in circles and losing your way. Li'l jewel of fallow desire, You listen to no-one, you have nothing to say. L'il jewel of unornamented fire, 'Don't know where you're going, ain't it a shame? Li'l jewel of idle desire All for the sake of the free money game! If it's all the same to you I will pursue my own jelled course. Set for myself a few new rules Find from within a li'l bit of new force. Some things might never change, Both of us fools. Woe to that common ghost Out walking the streets, A common goal, Much more than we need, Far beyond our means. Come and whisper in my ear Say the words I long to hear. Your impossible words Infuse malady in my mind. I must have been enthralled To ever think you could be mine. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
