Abandon

Stoned by the village
Grew on a bent
Scrambled for a dollar
Bled for the rent

Stabbed in the chest
The blood congealed
Twisted digression
To the great reveal

Standing by the corner
Fell for the sly
Taken by the riddle
Shocked to defy

Conned by a saviour
The fading ideal
Kept the trick quiet
Forged a raw deal

Ok UK, no joke
Who's the next bloke
Cause she don't know

Turned down the offer
Dimmed all the lights
Drowned by the crowd
Doused the bright nights

Paused for a whim
Chose the wrong side
Made the safe play
Tangled in the pride

Inspired by the comedy
Stuck in the doubt
Spent by the remedy
Deafened by the shout

Drove towards the future
Swarmed by the tribe
Energized the past
Smashed the alibi

A band came on and broke in
A band came in and spoke up
A band broke in and tore out
Abandon
Abandon

A band came on and broke in
A band came in and spoke up
A band broke in and tore out
Abandon
Abandon

Ok UK, no joke
Who's the next bloke
Cause she don't know

That's all folks
That's all folks
