Impossibles (The)
(album: The Impossibles)

like a ton of bricks it hits
before she finishes her sentence
as the predicate predicts
a swift ending to her presence

i could see it coming from a mile away
at six hundred miles an hour
a surprise attack, a tora tora kamikaze
no looking back
a tactic of considerable power

it doesn´t matter now what i should have done then
my heart was in the right place at the wrong time again

in close to half a second my composure was lost
and i had found my modesty
"everything not in the dumpster was otherwise tossed,"
...her voice lacking sincerity

a phone call is made at midnight
that won´t let her fall asleep
the ringer´s turned off
but she can hear the answering machine

it´s you plus me divided by inadequacy times my denial
minus three words that were thrown around and around
and a why can doo mang ing tang duaplan

if you want to get away you´ll have to go through me
or walk over my dead body (and you just may)
the ship is sinking, i´m the captain, there´s no escape
if you want to get away you´re gonna hafta go through
meeeehey!
