At What Cost

So the best you digest with a chest up to your neck
 Are flowers that hold powers stop the hours with cold showers
 With a tap that rat-a-tats like a cat growing fat
 In the garden where you cried in beg your pardon for the sudden
 Loss of your cross, a coin toss if my boss
 Helps me win, hides my sins in a bin that's within
 Your dad's house, rotten mouth and bad health so he went south
 To the sea where you and me will cut the keys until they bleed
 Iron taste from kiss chase, carry mace just in case
 Your best friend calls an end lets pretend that we aren't men
 But animals that are called John and Paul were be Beatles
 Crawling round, falling down did we make sounds when we were found
 Holding hands and making plans in the sand our castle stands
 The tide comes in and everything disappears and so we sing
 Like birds and bees and how to please on your knees, virginity
 Is lost like your cross now I'm the boss but at what cost?
 But At What Cost?
 Obsessed with you, you tie my shoes and quote Camus my feet turn blue
 Didn't tie them right and so we
 fight goes on all night no end in sight
 Your father dies and so you cry,
 I'll dry your eyes with the lace you tied
 We should elope to some mountain
 slope where you can cope but you say no.
 But At What Cost?
