across these cold wet twisted nights
i sense you on the other side
of town
and sensing
flinch away
and flinching
fall upon the ground
i don't regret our time together
even though it cost me dearly
literally. no-one has ever
made me pay and pay and pay
quite like you did.
six grand all told
a lot of money
not that you care
and why should you
i was just "Small Change"
to you
more than you even knew youself
and now that i am truly free
the joke, my love, is all on me.
