Song of Imaginary Beings

Her mother said if she couldn't love The physical way a woman should Then where else could she could go Where the sisters and the fathers can't save her soul? Send them in, see them on If she can't find a lover she'll fashion one Imaginary man Like the burnt out poets in the Hinterland The hourglass sees what shelf-life does She asked exactly: Tell me what is love But breathing life alone? And just the words from prophets and religious shows Imagine hurt, imagine tears She opened up until she disappeared And vanished hand in hand With all the long lost children locked in Neverland The phoenix says The double says The serpent says The siren says Why use the word, when the word needs the belief Why use the word, when the word needs the belief The Phoenix says The double says The serpent says The siren says The Phoenix says - burn for me The double says - Lie for me The serpent says - beg for me The siren says - die for me The Phoenix says - burn for me The double says - lie for me The serpent says - beg for me The siren says - die for me
