never.so.good

he was talking against time

the clock began to strike

you’ve never had it so good

yet it’s bustin out all over

evil is

only four more chimes and it would

be

too late

I knew

(don’t ask me how)

Romeo and Juliet had been in that car

what can happen in seconds

I knew that, too

a plane crash

suicide pact

adultery…

love can walk away.

all in a matter of seconds

The strokes squeezed my heart

you’ve never had it so good

but those strokes squeezed my heart

not my head

and I thought it began to drip

7, 8, 9, drops inside me now

frenzy persisted

and for just a moment

it was frenzy contained by silence

young love lies sleeping

I believed, stupidly

and we all never had it so good.
