Beyond Belief

History repeats the old conceits[00:00:06]

The glib replies the same defeats[00:00:08]

Keep your finger on important issues[00:00:11]

With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues[00:00:14]

I'm just the oily slick[00:00:17]

On the windup world of the nervous tick[00:00:19]

In a very fashionable hovel[00:00:22]

I hang around dying to be tortured[00:00:25]

Youll never be alone in the bone orchard[00:00:30]

This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel[00:00:32]

So in this almost empty gin palace[00:00:38]

Through a two-way looking glass[00:00:42]

You see your alice[00:00:45]

You know she has no sense[00:00:48]

For all your jealousy[00:00:51]

In a sense she still smiles very sweetly[00:00:54]

Charged with insults and flattery[00:00:58]

Her body moves with malice[00:01:01]

Do you have to be so cruel to be callous[00:01:04]

And now you find you fit this identikit completely[00:01:09]

You say you have no secrets[00:01:14]

And then leave discreetly[00:01:18]

I might make it californias fault[00:01:20]

Be locked in genevas deepest vault[00:01:22]

Just like the canals of mars and the great barrier reef[00:01:24]

I come to you beyond belief[00:01:27]

My hands were clammy and cunning[00:01:34]

She's been suitably stunning[00:01:37]

But I know theres not a hope in hades[00:01:40]

All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle[00:01:46]

So-called gentlemen and ladies[00:01:50]

Dog fight like rose and thistle[00:01:52]

I've got a feeling[00:01:56]

I'm going to get a lot of grief[00:01:58]

Once this seemed so appealing[00:02:00]

Now I am beyond belief[00:02:03]
