Emptying the ash-tray
With your three-day-old rips
You got yourself so high
You bumped your head off spaceships

You said you felt something
And I said it was youth
You shook your head at me
And said you felt the truth

'Well let me see then'
I said with eager fingers
The room is empty now
And still your shook head lingers

I left my trust to rest
In your all-knowing hands
You let me fall gently
Into a million rubber-bands.

'You see' you said neatly
With smiling recognition
And then you faded swiftly
Into an endless repetition

I left your hand down limply
and exhaled into the pipe
Thank you dear I said
But this is my new wife

Leave her behind it said
That numbing draining tooth
Because the only real liars
Are the ones who know the truth
