Counting the cost of disbelief
In the shadow of the juke box king
Stand the believers and the perjurers
Who seem to so easily to forget almost every thing
While the soulful all sing their songs
Of melancholy and of mirth
Superficial pride rides the internet with did you see that
Wishing for something more than they have become
And another day another week another year is done
Leaving the pokers and the prodders
To push and to stare
Kicking the pop and wheeze of vacant champagne corks
And another year starts over
Among the aching lonely hearts and masks
