By A Secret for Now
Date: 13 August 2000

topsy turvy

topsy turvy
willy nilly
silly kind of love

you put your heart
into my hand
it fit me like a glove

nights were long
we shared a song
that tore our lives apart

we cried, we danced
we mock-romanced
we thought it was a start

deep inside her
apple cider
fresh from the oven boy

you smile at me
but don't you see
i might just be a toy

smoke and breathing
frantic dreaming
joy up to the sky

far away
is that to say
no hope for you and i

meat and potatoes
everyday those
feelings trickle in

a love at home
a love away
the closest one must win

white nothing bread
the dream is dead
it makes me weep to say

your heart won't fit me
it's a pity
our chance has blown away
