drama for life

i've got this madman in my mind

this prolific designer

and he's working overtime

and he gets all wired up

higher and higher

as we fly

we're poets of the fall

perfect

near fatal headlong dive

a blueprint for life

blueprint your life

aggressively primal

cultural high

this mental versailles

is much grander than the lies

you tell yourself to get

through the night

sentenced to drama

for life

he tears a stampede through my head

wild and horny

just one chance to kill it dead

but i will embrace it

into the darkness

on we ride

to gamble is all

perfect

near fatal headlong dive

a blueprint for life

blueprint your life

aggressively primal

cultural high

this mental versailles

is much grander than the lies

you tell yourself to get

through the night

sentenced to drama

for life

if all the isms and doctrines of life were a gentle breeze instead of that usual judgmental freeze

would we all be as easily shanghaied to their cause

as now we seem to object to every clause

and would we have that unerring nerve to go after our deepest desires with a similar verve

who would it serve?

perfect

near fatal headlong dive

a blueprint for life

blueprint your life

aggressively primal

cultural high

this mental versailles

is much grander than the lies

you tell yourself to get

through the night

sentenced to drama

for life
