AN EYE FOR AN EYE

A king is lost, he's been replaced with comedy.
I'm pretty sure his queen mistrusts. It's not her mother tongue
and i wonder where it all went wrong.

I'm taking cover in a box.
I'm freezing.
The golden gate has changed it's locks,
a joker holds the key
and i'm wondering where you might be.

in this comedy

There's the siren
lurring on a rock,
a head that has been lost into the sea,
widgets working in the docks
while everybody else is singing:
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

The king of comedy's their guest of honour.
He wares a medal on his chest,
he shakes them like a leaf and fireworks on new year's eve.

They say the siren has run out of stories,
but i just wish they wouldn't shout; it's not her mother tongue.
I wonder where it all went wrong.
