Wendy, Why Give It Away?

Deep among the drunken theatre

Lonely, Wendy hugs the wall

Strangers shoot her lustful glances

Looking for the final dance



Wendy in her party dress

Like her love, she'll throw away

For promises of perfect passion

Tell her that the world's okay



Hoping for a taste of heaven

Flesh is weak as shadows fall

Pleasure when the Sun don't shine

Just maybe she can have it all



Today



Pass the glass and pour the liquor

Drink another, kill the pain

Soft whispers of sweet indiscretions

Flowers bloom in opal rain



Wendy and her party dress

Her dignity left by the door

As sweet love is ripped away

Soft petals spill upon the floor



Hoping for a taste of heaven

Flesh is weak as shadows fall

Pleasure when the Sun don't shine

And maybe she can have it all



Today



Sown the seed and drained the bottle

There's no illusions, no surprise

Since every lover's left her lonely

Love's confusion, no goodbyes



As the cold light tears the curtains

Her very heart, he's ripped away

No pleasure now the Sunlight shines

Left lonely on this bed again



Broken promises of passion

Flesh was weak as shadows fall

Pleasure when the Sun don't shine

No way she can have it all



Today



Wendy, why give it away?
