lyrics

RAFFLE

DOWN IN THE TRENCHES
AND SHELTERED FROM HOPE
THE SUNKEN EYED MAN
CLUTCHES AT FROZEN STRAW
THE ROARING CROWD
WAVES THROUGH THE SHOW
EACH LONGS FOR A WIN
AT THE RAFFLE DRAW

THE NEWS PLY AND UNFOLD
A LIE OR TWO
THE TV SET FLICKERS
SPUTTERS AND SPEWS
THE NETWORK PAGE
MISSES THE CUE
FRIENDS OF FRIENDS RISE
TO CENSOR THE TRUTH

TO WIN
THE RAFFLE DRAW
AND LEAVE WITH THE PRIZE
COVETED BY ALL
BATTLE
TO BATTLE
THE GAME IS RIGGED
ONE NEVER TAKES THE FALL

DREAMS OF WIDE SPACES
CROUCHED IN THE DARK
THE STENCH OF HUMAN DECAY
DOES NOT CARRY THAT FAR
THE MEMORIES OF WHAT IS LOST
EXIT THROUGH THE CRACK
OF THE BACKSTAGE DOOR

TO WIN
THE RAFFLE DRAW…
