Between Two Pillars: Somebody’s Gonna Love You

Somebody’s Gonna Love You

(Chorus)
Somebody’s gonna love you
Somebody, someday
Somebody’s gonna love you
If you don’t get in their way…
Whole world is in front of you
But you know
It’s not gonna stay
Somebody’s gonna love you
Someday…

Eyeliner
Streaking your cheeks
Cheats your sleek facetious wit
Did somebody call
The Queen of Hearts’ bluff
And find her ill equipped for it?
Did miss “I can have anybody” find nobody to go out with?
We’re all going out
But going alone
That’s a drag of a gig!

(Chorus)

Real shiner
Gracing your face
Tasting blood between your teeth
Did some mouth breather
Speak to you with blows
His objection to your different beliefs?
In the love of neighbor and brother why does the stranger turn his cheek?
But to say it aloud
With hands full of stones
Seems much stranger to me



Recliner
Signing your fate
Too sedate to take it on
Surrendering to
Two polarities
Manifested to oppose the one
Out on the fringe, it’s hard to find friends when your nature’s so withdrawn
When everyone else
Hides it with more skill
Feels like you’re already gone

(Chorus)
