"Please, sir, I want some more."

Well, well, Oliver Twist,
all of a twisted tale...
What a twisted tale,
denied more gruel,
what grueling circumstance...
Well, won't you join me?
Dance the last dance of Fagin,
Ensure the bridge will break...
Nancy, she'll defy the thieves,
and you, Oliver, might be free...

-----

Haven't seen the play for about 8 years, but these lyrics came to me in the shower last night, and are still in the works, I suppose...

trinitarian

oh, trinitarian
of your scandal,
yes, that pretty girl was scared
of your unity,
yes, that little girl was shy

we sometimes
shred memories
when doctrine is sharp
well, sometimes we shed,
or do we bury them far
as you reach farther, father
confession won't scrap the wrath
that scrapes the edge of my heart

oh, trinitarian
of your scandal,
yes, that pretty girl was scared
of your unity
yes, that little girl was shy

Joseph was the father
so if you're the father, son, and holy spirit
you hold the power to
wash my holy water
from your hands

oh, trinitarian
of your scandal,
yes, that pretty girl was scared
of your unity
yes, that little girl was shy

oh, trinitarian
impurity by three
that hurt me

peace bond

don't want to bind you
but you struck me by your will,
on your own, on your way
out to desecrate
now we're gone
but are we done?
or are we bound
by some bond?
that's why I say...

oh, will a peace bond help me?
or will it only resurrect what's left?
maybe baby when you consecrate
you can reconstruct the ways,
the ways you struck;
haunt and heal your only ways

how could you say
"don't live beyond your means"
when you always want another?
im sure as your condition fluctuates
she'll not be your lover,
but do anything to restrict
your construction
as liquid impersonates and
builds your karmic prison tower

she'll say
oh, will a peace bond help me?
or will it only resurrect what's left?
maybe baby when you consecrate
you can reconstruct the ways,
the ways you struck;
haunt and heal your only ways

and if we sign a peace bond,
you'll be gone,
but we'll be bound
but by the time
you come around
you can't come around
this ordination

so maybe a peace bond will help us;
it might resurrect what's left
but baby when you consecrate
you can reconstruct the ways,
the ways you struck;
haunt and heal your only ways
