STEEL

STEEL

If you’ve got steel
Look at life
Dead straight in the eye
Call it by no other name
Drink it with no other wish
Live it with no other dream
Just the faint carcass of a rainbow
Smiling over blown away hopes......

If you’ve got steel
Give to life
The hardest kick
Right there, below the belt
Call it by no other name
Drink it with no other wish
Live it with no other dream
Just the butcher’s mirth
Meat melting in the mouth
After a hard day’s slog at the bones.

If you have got steel
Give to life
The deepest kiss
Full on the lips
Call it by no other name
Drink it with no other wish
Live it with no other dream
Just the naked truth
Ridiculed again and again
For indecent exposure.
