My Other Life Lloyd Cole
Clearly you can see
that I am bleeding
Clearly you can see
my clothes are torn
Clearly this demands
an explanation
Only I can offer none
My other life
Witnesses have placed me
at the crime scene
Forensic evidence concurs
Samples taken from
under my fingernails
Support the prosecution's case
My other life
<interlude DF>
Analysis has failed
to find a motive
Hypnotists have failed
to beak the code
Journalists are camped out
on my doorstep
Perchance that I might slip
and drop the key
My other life
Welcome to my made
for TV movie
I look strangely placid
on the stand
You can be the judge
and you the jury
Consider please the allegations
My other life
I slip away to
my other life
With no regret or remorse
Happy and gay in
my other life
No need to wake me
Monday morning
