Define my day today
I've tried so hard to shut it down
Lock it up, gently walk away

To seek out a new romance
We won't know the actual
If we never take the chance

After a rainbow
Across the sky, her gracious glide

It's just the sound of being dragged ahead
It's just a pornographic annulationship
As we watch the spider's web eat itself
