Authority

She says it's OK

The rent just went on entertainment

But who's gonna say

It's just not my day

She's got enough stuff to get real tough

Well, she's the girl who plays

The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over

The garden's overgrown

The trust is rusted, the link's been busted

The seeds are sown

The sounds of my breath, what do you expect

Echo in the hall

The ghost of the picture still haunts the master

Bedroom mirrored wall

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me

Oh, but she has authority

It used to be fine

Days full of music, nights full of music

Music all the time

Invisible light

I try my best but I transgressed

It used to be fine

The chances are used up, the finances used up

The energy is low

Letters are returned, lovers are spurned

Delivered quite a blow

The signs of disaster, I wouldn't put it past her

The dagger's in the dark

The stale perfume in her old room

Heart of a shark

I suppose you'd say she made a slave of me

Oh, but she has authority

I guess that that's all

The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town

The leaves begin to fall

I guess that that's it

The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning

And all the rest is just bullshit

The shadow's getting longer, the widow's gettin' younger

The cup doth overflow

The luxury of pity, babe this wasn't pretty

On with the show

Life is a tangle, a one night triangle

Some tangle of life limbs

You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby

Goodbye everything

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me

Oh, but she had authority
