• Life Between Heartbeats

She waits by the road
She will sell me something more than just a body
As she leans into my car
And I know that something less than love
Can spare me, Life between heartbeats

As a schoolboy I would pass her on my way
Always wandering into her hospitality
After being taught that every man is guilty
After seeing off my last friend to the enemy
As the teachers often tried to put an end to me
With the counselors useless sheets of information
The psychiatrist was missing medication
That was passed out on the eve of graduation
It was over in an hour

Now I find myself awake on trucker speed
Taking taxis to motels on empty streets
Life between heartbeats

When she takes me like a mother never could
In a way that all my lovers never would
Though they came and that was quite something to see
Though they moved like avalanches falling on me
Though they called out to the midnight in there sighs
Seems that love is but a pet that always dies
Then it lies as it lays

Now I search for truth to press against my face
Be it vinyl be it latex be it lace
I will not sleep until I get a taste
And the healer she is fallen and unchaste
For I don’t believe in sin only in passion
When I finally pay this angel of compassion
I will pray in the bed
