As for me I struggle with words and wisdom accusing "It's you, it's me, it's him", you see For all I know it's coming fast To colonise my infancy The space is clean but in between It's coloured with anxiety The failing clause is "Victory Complete with Words" It's hard to see That after all it's over And done with supreme variety A friend indeed is all I need To show me to an open door I can only trust myself I should of thought of that before They need a catch before I'm under I will give myself to the war For all I know it's coming fast To colonise my infancy The space is clean but in between It's coloured with anxiety The failing clause is "Victory Complete with Words" It's hard to see That after all it's over And done with supreme variety
