Take Back the Instant

Take back the Instant when you brushed him off your shirt
You tried to drag him to the trash
You tried to trade him in for cash
Take back the instant when you blew him off your path
With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go
Cold, cold moment when the first doubt shot through your head
A black ink drip running through your veins
Pregnant second dripping through the hour-glass
When the lure of men who would be kings
Made you lose the man who was wearing you ring
He didnt match your luscious thoughts tonight
You couldnt look him in the eye
Awkward is the embrace when its not tight, not tight
And so the jewel you once bath had is left crumpled like a collapsed lung
When all you had to do was hang out in the sun , hang out in the sun

Sir, you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
But you were just born in the right place
Just born in the right race
Youre climbing Mount Everest now, granting whishes from above
Favors are yours to give, lies are yours to live
Take back the instants that lead you to believe
That the earth shakes cuz youre not happy
That the sun rises cuz youre not sleepy
You got the loudest parade in town
Clowns, a**assins and crooks
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Reading extracts from your books
Beggars are trailing at the back
Waving from the cardboard float
Youre thinking that from up close
Statistics can be such a drag
Your cup is full now, blood is the color of this wine
Andits dripping from the ceiling, and its making the chandeliers ring
And the instant the ballroom overflows
Your thrones turn into your gallows
