We all take a drink from the cup
then she politely knocks it over
I said I think that I've had enough
& she says no no this is not over
because there is no innocence or beauty in
what I have seen in your face
so let's pretend
I got up to take a walk across the floor
but my feet they would not hold me
she said you should never have come into this bar
& I say no I should never have come in
but I had been sold down the river to
somebody sold me
it could have been you
So every day time slips away
there is nothing to contain it

& sometimes we just pretend
Have you ever seen a blind man as he stumbles & falls
Me I am just like the blind man
my hands are tied & I can't see anymore
