Like every good beginning, there's a promise from afar
and I face a famous portrait as she hangs above the bar
Though it's early in the evening, soon the waitress is a star,
floating like a dancer as she serves us...potions from the jars
The body of this story wasn't built of finer things,
but promises not kept, and empty wishes without wings
Oh, the darkness that surrounds us might just brighten as it brings
something greater, wiser, truer, beautiful.. music.. how she sings!
Now I've brought myself the blame
Lived this life alone so long, and still survived the rain
When they bring me to the stage then, and I'm lit and in the frame
Oh, oh, it kills the pain
When you're getting near the ending and you feel about to cave
Looking at the others as they drink their Liquid Brave
Now you understand their story, from the cradle to the grave
and the one thing that's remained that never fails you,
Ooh, how it's saved
I meant this song to find the right lifeline
and reach out to the misfits, all you misfits so divine
We can bury so much, bury so much in our separate times
But when life hands you cherries, then make sweet wine
