Paroles de Catherine's Wheel

I feel as though I've lost a limb because I cannot walk I'll swim cut this knot beneath my throat bequeathed a plastic gem of hope which only melted in the sun leave me to rock upon the waves of this chlorine water maze, having none dark as the ocean deep in the ghostland keys were stolen from the guards broke our fingers in the bars broken on the wheel caught with an extra crust of bread, golden teeth from off the dead just a trespass from the tents on the wrong side of the fence digging trenches with a spade badly shined the captain's boot a simple enough deception from which there's scarce protection if we'd been manufactured could we tell?
