I can see clearly now, Lorraine has gone

Catch an Ox by the tail
Pass the parcel
Make it scream
Pin it to the wall

Seems everything he did– gave me the finger:
Ordering the bloodiest meat on the menu
Blowing smoke in my face
Taking me to a wine bar when I am not drinking
Asking me questions when I cannot speak

Getting hammered and falling asleep Infront of TV,
hand down the front of his pants - for comfort
Took credit for acts of God
and disclaimed those I had composed

The good news is: we are not all hedonists
Some of us act without self-interest

We try to see through
the glass half-full of awareness
To climb the mountains at the bottom of the sea
And look into our own deceit
Giggling

Guiltless and completely free
