pobochki (side effects), 2

my life''s been dull and boring like striptease
i''m through with crossing i''s and dotting t''s
the time has shrunk
there''s no more room to roam
while stretched between jerusalem and rome
i only feel as prisoner at ease
jail is my home

i''ve made myself quite clear - have i not?
let guilt and fear knit their friendly net
they stand no chance to tighten up the knot
until the ends have met

i too will claim a piece of palestine
(or peace for palestine - which is the same)
my blood is turning into wine of time
i''m drunk forever
though it''s not a shame

- perhaps insane
but let the lord decide
i''m all alone
like forward in offside
or even worse -
a clown on a cloud

uncertainty
is deadlier than sin
before i fall
asleep
i''d like to sing

- is that allowed?
