Scapegoat

fingerprints skinned from the top

taken from the hand of a cop

It's New Year's

We wait for the ball to drop

I've made my wishes

I've made my demands

There's no negotiation

It's out of our hands

I will be your scapegoat

I will board your sinking boat

The room is waiting for you to stop

You drowned her in the raindrop

It's New Year's

The ball has dropped

FUMBLE!

blindness strikes

as she likes

highway rides

on motorbikes

wind in her face

sun in her eyes

gnat in her teeth

brain full of lies

by running from trouble

she collides into pain

get out on the double

Or get caught in the rain
