Moralless mistress make this an evening
Let coral-splintered soles prove deceiving
Had a grip but two hands are waiving
To sew up seams from cuts barely healing
Serrated
But so tongue in cheek
Left alone somewhere in between the sheets
Sold her rings
All those diamond dreams
Emerald green
Down her face in streams
Sold her rings
Nothing lasts it seems at all
Called upon a fleet of excuses
The disregarded shame this produces
Divorce, a matter of course, overuse it
So come back to bed I'm done blowing fuses
Serrated
But too foolish to see
There's an emptier side where you could be
Sold her rings
All those diamond dreams
Emerald green
Down her face in streams
Sold her rings
Nothing lasts it seems at all
Sighs the witness, "One last show"
Kids of the juried and just for all
Put pen to ballot, it's come time to call it
But first comb the wreckage up on that wall
Sold her rings
Sold her rings
Faulty testimony, objection
Please don't do this to our children
You know I won't survive this rejection
In one last show of mercy, she hugs him
