"One Scalpel Cut"

Time is a cruel machine
A photograph box
Schedule of dreams
Love is a cruel machine
Colder than ice
Strictly obscene

Temporary joys
Fleeting gadgets and toys
Selling their girls and boys
Driving them nuts
Reading an old French novel
Thinking of Alfred Nobel
Watching my love unravel
One scalpel cut

Life is a cruel machine
A poem you lost
An old worn LP
Peace is a cruel machine
Controlling the war
Under your skin

Temporary joys
Fleeting gadgets and toys…

Trust is a cruel machine
Leading you blind
Confessing your sins
Lust is a cruel machine
Wearing your eyes
Observing your scenes

Temporary joys
Fleeting gadgets and toys…
