Versuri Manhole

 
I'm holding here a book 
Notable, but not the greatest 
Stolen for me by the latest 
In a long line of thieves 
And I'm just about to drop it 
Down that manhole of memories 
When I realize it doesn't bother me 
Like love's mementos usually do 
And I look up to see who's different here 
The latest me or the latest you 
 
Course, you're the kind of guy who doesn't lie 
He just doctors everything 
Chooses some unassuming finger 
And quietly moves his wedding ring 
Who rewrites his autobiography 
For any pretty girl who'll sing 
But you can't fool the queen, baby 
Cuz I married the king 
 
And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty 
With no opposite reality 
Like a puddle with no reflection 
Of the sky or the trees 
But after my dreaded beheading 
I tied that sucker back on with a string 
And I guess I'm pretty different now 
Considering 
 
I kissed you on the street that night 
On the far side of four 
But I didn't like the taste 
In my mouth or yours 
And ignoring the persona you wore for my benefit 
For once I had the balls to call it 
Just call it 
But a lesson must be lived 
In order to be learned 
And the clarity to see and stop this now 
That is what I've earned 
 
And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty 
With no opposite reality 
Like a puddle with no reflection 
Of the sky or the trees 
But after my dreaded beheading 
I tied that sucker back on with a string 
And I guess I'm pretty different now 
Considering 
 
I'm holding here a book 
Notable, but not the greatest 
Stolen for me by the latest 
In a long line of thieves 
And I'm just about to drop it 
Down that manhole of memories 
When I realize it doesn't bother me 
And heartache not so dire 
Cuz I looked up to see integrity 
Finally won over desire
