Every second allowed to be fashionably late Is a second from me you take I hope I’ve been nourishing longings unsaid Just look straight ahead, airways collapsing, The flash of my silhouette the choke will bring Looks like I’ve been nourishing fevers and dread Breathe all me in Relive the sin Who’s your new best friend? Anyone instead The plainer the better there’s no love to lose Smoothing out the loss, without bruising all the gloss You’re alone Meet my new best friend With the sweetness ingested, the bitterness aches Leaving sweetness for charity’s sake Now I’m granted permission; acerbic rewind, Is there anything else you’ve lost? Oh yes, your time Breathe all me in Relive the sin We all send our condolences We all send our full expenses Let us all pretend we’re wonderfully content, and raise a glass to absent friends
