The Enemy Smacks

Helplessly held by the ****s, we are grown,

I tried talking sense to you, leave it alone;

I give in to the weight of the kick,

So weary of waiting and hoping for this,

The two of us alone, no-one else to see,

I promise not to miss you and no more jealousy.

Careful of my gender, it comes, how it goes,

Love me tender so nobody knows,

Nobody knows the trouble

I seen, Each time they asked,

I said something obscene,

The splinters shower down,

I shelter from the rain,

Against the grain, against the moon,

I waxes and

I wanes. No ecstasy sent for taking a line,

Right through the stokehold they rip, run and shine;

I awake and the feeling won't drop,

Each time they slam down,

I swear I will stop,

The two of us alone, no-else to see,

The damage brings us closer to murder, can't you see?

Here in my rocking-horse house,

I keep the curtains drawn;

Inside my little head,

I hear them screaming out my name.

Here in my rocking-horse room,

I keep my eyes shut tight:

Inside my peeping-holes,

I know that if they're empty

I can sleep.

Don't you believe her, deliver a shiver to me,

Is this what you wanted?

I'm haunted, my eyes grown cold.

I still got second sight,

I still can see at night.

Here comes the enemy, the beast in me,

Alive a little more,

On my hard shoulder,

The warning goes deeper than before.

I still got second sight,

I still can see at night.
