Stitching Time
I shaved off my hair cause I found it amusingI faked my despair in the beautiful ruinsI wailed at the wall, tossed a coin in the fountainNow dry as the sand on a dead man's bonesI dive from a cloud, take a roll down a mountainI rise in a shroud and I sleep when I'm countingI shed my disguise when there's nobody lookingThe whites of your eyes are all mine aloneAnd I'm written in stone; I'm the dust on your carpetA guest in your home because that's where the heart isTry and fly on the wind, though you'll find I'm the fastestI'm always let in but I dine aloneRest assured I'll survive though I'll thrive on your dangerI'll arrive as your friend but I'll leave as the strangerI'm open for bribes, in the end I will wagerYou've nothing to buy but some time aloneThe rules of the game are all mine for the makingYou'll cheat all the same but you're mine for the takingThere's no special favors and no one forsakenI live for you all, but I'll die alone
