Parker's Mood

Where's my sock?

Where's my other shoe?

I didn't know what time it was

When I came to

The only light in here

Is my flickering TV

Watching back at me

Oh, my love is here to stay

Saints alive

And all the saints be praised

I see them all around me now

They've been called and raised

Their jaws gone slack

Their yellow nails long and curling back

To scratch the phantom of ache

Of our lost days

Oh, my love is here to stay

I came home this morning

I was dead on my feet

Drunk on the victory

Of my own defeat

Now I'm reeling on the ceiling

But what yard bird law is this

When a heart in chains is what remains

The prelude to a kiss?

God is in the details

Of the smoke in the air

The devil, he's a pauper prince

Nesting in your hair

The things we put together

The world will ear a part

But I've beat them to the start

Alone the way

Oh, my love is here to stay
