One day you'll invite me to come and do my worst
And the summer thugs might smite me if you don't get there first
Be watchful to hyenas and know that they're sincere
Do what you like but don't trust me to reappear
I won't give up on my servants but they've given up on me
It's as well-defined an ending as a wreath nailed to a tree
It feels like I got older and old friends kept their youth
What is the key to that dyed-in-the-wool untruth?
An untwisting quilt I'll stitch me, if I don't get too bored
Because I'm trying to be honest on what it means to be a fraud
Unfaithful men will falter, adulteresses sigh
And leopards lay down as the man of the hour walks by
