I would ride madness

  like the loins of a lover,

  cast myself into Hell

  even sleep with my brother.

  I would swallow poison

  and swear it was like nectar,

  sell my soul for a penny

  give my eyes to a collector.

  I would throw myself

  to the lions in the zoo -

  if only you would love me -

  for a second - as I love you.

There lies a place in the human soul,

Where flesh, bone, and blood alone,

Challenges life’s mortal bounds,

With strength beyond, what’s earthly found,

A place of light, a place of giving,

This place is love, for all were living.

He stands in the pouring rain,
Ignored again and again,
Biting wind chills his bones,
People rush to their warm homes.

Drink in the morning,
drink at night.
Drink in the dark,
drink in the light.
Drink from the bottle,
drink from the can.
Drink like a fish,
as only you can.

Drink at work,
drink at school.
Drink in the pub,
drink like a fool.
Drink while you're dancing,
drink when you're stoned.
Drink at your wedding,
drink 'cos your boyfriend
never phoned.

It's a mystery to me that when
The heart cries out Oh not again,
And you find yourself back in that place
Where you were once in pains embrace,
But from that spot you ventured forth

Many a night a knight will rescue you
But that’s not me my love
I am his proud white stead below
Speed you from the darkness with
Love written across my flank
And every mile I run
