"Malefic Dowery" Lyrics

Love is not a debtor's prison,
You don't have to serve a sentence to pay back what you've been given
Now I live in fear of your schizophrenic genius,
It's a tempestuous despot that I can't seem to propitiate
Now I feel your provoking me with your fidelity
That your loyalty and affections are somehow a vulpine act of hostility
Now we're a bore, we're afternoon TV,
This thing our minds are screaming to defy
How can I bury this rebellion while proving that I'm,
You know, still your rock and roll ally

Once more I turn to my crutch for counsel and it won't disappoint me
I know it's the shadow cast by what's looming
And not the thing in itself that engenders fear

I was dreaming of the hunt,
You clapped your hands sharply twice to wake me up
Darkness was gripping the sky,
I knew I could still be your rock and roll ally
