Weekend in Prague


I’ve got ten on the bar wall

Got a night and I want to use it

Had six and I want more

I’ve got guilt and I want to lose it


Throat stings like a man-o-war

I’ve got a heart but nobody views it

Slipstream to the pratfall

Spray-paint to the tiled wall


Away across the skyline

She’s tied to the phone line

Making the wake-up call

And way past the deadline

She’s making a beeline

Out of the exit door


I’ve got 12 on the bar wall

Got time and I want to lose it

Knock back ‘til I feel no more

Except the cold of the wet floor


I’ve got a six string under my heart

It plays minor chords

But no melody springs to mind

I’ve got a stained-glass ribcage

To protect a major flaw

Forever wanting more


Away across the skyline

She sits on the breadline

She feels her wet make-up crawl

She wakes with the birdsong

And not for the first time

She’s out of the exit door


And while mist clears and dew dries 

I sleep as the crow flies

From green fields to deep azure


Return back to real-time

Where not for the first time

I’m out of the exit door.
