Porcelain Frog from Game Preserve by Bart Davenport

I was devilishly happy
I had not a cent
A lover too poor to buy a ring
But I did get mine
Further down the line
Strung out and too tired for loving
So when they fired the cannons
I knew it was my turn
But they only put a hole in the wall
If you ask me for the time
I’d say I don’t know
This is nowhere and there’s no where left to go
Oh nowhere and nowhere left to go

I was brutally dishonest
I was mercilessly fair
I was always trying to make things work out
You can’t find a place to settle
By moving to and fro
This is nowhere and there’s nowhere left to go
Oh nowhere and nowhere left to go

There were brief times
I could almost see you spending your life with me

Now they put us in pods
Made of flesh and bone
And they make us write our own eulogies
So I write about euphoria
That I once did know
This is nowhere and there’s nowhere left to go

And they lead you down the aisle
And they march you through the snow
This is nowhere and there’s nowhere left to go
Oh nowhere and nowhere left to go
