My Other Life

Clearly you can see that I am bleeding Clearly you can see my clothes are torn Clearly this demands an explanation Only I can offer none My other life Witnesses have placed me at the crime scene Forensic evidence concurs Samples taken from under my fingernails Support the prosecutions case My other life Analysis failed to find a motive Hypnotists have failed to break the code Journalists are camped out on my doorstep Per chance that I might slip and drop the key To my other life Welcome to my made for TV movie I look strangely placid on the stand You can be the judge and do the jury Consider please the allegations My other life I slip away to my other life With no regret or remorse Happy and gay in my other life No need to wake me Monday morning From my other life --- My Other Life - Lloyd Cole
