Delirium Park

I know where Tony lies
Flat out with hopeless eyes
Watching the yellow sky through tears
I know what Tony can't
He cannot stop his dance
Real life don’t stand a chance
Against his dreams

Minute by minute by minute
I feel the clock tick
Helpless and guilty and wary I check
And hear he called in sick

Every morning he loves me
Every night he lets me go

I know why Tony cries
Says he's waited all his life for me
But I can't just step into his dream
I know where Tony flies
Hoping his veins run dry
Arm in a bucket by his bed

Minute by minute by minute
I feel the clock tick
Through the quiet telephone line
I think I hear the falling red drops click

Every morning he loves me
Every night he lets me go

Oh fate how I hate you
What cruel ironic demon created you

I know where Tony lies
Flat out with blood shut eyes
Watching the whiskey sky through tears
I know what Tony can’t
He can't escape his trance
Real life don't stand a chance
Against his fears

Minute by minute by minute
I feel the clock tick
Through the quiet telephone line
I think I hear the falling red drops click

Every morning he loves me
Every night he lets me go
