Third Eye Blues

I got lost in the third eye blues 
And everything called me to pay my dues
But I didn’t have any money
Though I’m wealthy as fuck, honey
I slot the puzzle piece into the jar
As I wonder what you are
And the nomad in me looks for change
But it’s not the kind that rattles when you’re outta range
It’s the kind that breaks like the sun
Across the sky and over everyone
And I play the perfect princess
I know to whom I must address
That painful moniker
And you’ve all already met her
Somewhere in my early teens
When I was still staring across moonbeams
Into the stars
I shook against the prison bars
And she had the key
I didn’t realise that she was locking me
In there
Or if I did I didn’t care
Because she used to make me laugh
But when she shattered the glass she didn’t do it by half
And I let it go, forgiveness now
I’m good at that but some remains somehow
Like a grain of sand in the oyster shell
I grit my teeth as I wish her well
And I’ve lots of secrets I will never tell
Well not to her, not now, though she rings the bell
That signals me to come
But, hun
I’m not Pavlov’s dog
And in the fire there’s a log
Burning more than well enough to keep me warm
And though you brought the storm
I don’t hate you
And fair play to the men who date you
They have more steel than me
But nothing is more real than eternity
And it’s something that will not break
So though you shake
Everything in sight
I still give a shite
