Herculean House of Cards

Herculean house of cards
Paper tiger, love
Food for a dog

Ivory-towered, tumultuous heart
Longed for freedom, Lord
Constructing more bars

Longed for a bed
But I slept in the park
I was shown the light my love
You know I preferred the dark
With the help of a spoon
And a White Lady too
The notions of life are near
I’m knitting my noose

Desperate ’n Delray
The junkie priests
They are 13th stepping, Lord
You know they prey upon the weak

Saltwater, sneaks and
It sneaks beneath my words
Oh, and meanings are flying now
The heart is looking like the bird
Herculean house of cards
Oh, a paper tiger, love
And food for a dog
