Beyond Petition

Well, you went around the twist

Clubbed me to submission

Oh, I know it's so hard to resist

It's all beyond petition

But you gotta wait your turn

Because your concerns are my concerns

So what fresh hell is this?

What's the exposition?

Oh, I know you say love don't exist

It's only superstition

But sometimes you're gonna burn

Whether your concerns are my concerns

And you're already saying my work here is done

When my work hasn't even begun

Once we could speak like a friend to a friend

But the possibilities always have an end

Do it with a flick of wrist, oh

Like you're a magician

Oh, you're such a solipsist

There's only one position

But I like it when you're spurned

'Cause when you get hot, then my house burns

And you're already saying my work here is done

When my work hasn't even begun

Once we could speak like a friend to a friend

But the possibilities always have an end

Scrawled out on your list

Said you're gonna find religion

Oh, I was well beyond the test

I was well beyond perdition

Still you turned up trashed

It was always women and children last

And you're already saying our work here is done

When my work hasn't even begun

Once we could speak like a friend to a friend

But the possibilities always have an end

But the possibilities always have an end
