Passion’s Paradox ©

What do we see from the dark side of the mirror        
Reflections of someone vaguely familiar                
Remembering all the dreams from there to here            
Trapped in a memory with all our fears            

We’re all alone together in couples two by two            
Waiting in silence for nothing left to loose                                
What would we do if our hearts were aroused                            
Keep on keeping on, passion’s not allowed        

Kafka told his stories and we saw his world up close                        
Guevera took a trip and found that bad was getting worse                    
They saw the world so clearly we had to see it too                                
Every answer begs the question, every lie holds the truth                
                                    
We’re all alone together in couples two by two                            
Waiting in silence for nothing left to loose                                
What would we do if our hearts were aroused                            
Keep on keeping on, passion’s not allowed                                

Down at Slick Willie’s a wager was made            
We were a little excited, a little afraid                                
Having fun but we couldn’t stay                 
You can’t afford to loose; you can’t afford to play

We’re all alone together in couples two by two                            
Waiting in silence for nothing left to loose                                
What would we do if our hearts were aroused                            
Keep on keeping on, passion’s not allowed
