SUNDAY AT SIX/DEFENSELESS
Sunday at Six (Defenseless Part One)
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985
Plans were made for you well in advance
So, really, you didn't have much of a chance
To avoid what befell you that overcast eve
When premonition warned you 'twas your time to leave
But, as so often, you chose to ignore
The importance of what your mind told you before
So, you were left defenseless, without your bag of tricks
When fate played its joke on you Sunday at Six
Defenseless (Sunday at Six Part Two)
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985
You knew what was happening
You saw it all before
Yet you let the feeling pass
And now your digging your own grave
Because you didn't care
About her heart of glass
On a Sunday evening
Your fate was set in stone
When you walked into a trap that you helped set
Six o'clock approaches
I hope you're not alone
But then I guess you deserve what you'll get
And you dared to show your face
Without any defense
To the world it seems like suicide
It doesn't make any sense
The minutes ticking rapidly
The showdown coming close
But you stand and face the draw
Those memories are haunting you
Aren't they, little fool?
The spectres, laughing, knowing what you saw
And now the curtain rises
You've made the opening play
You're standing face to face with social death
But wait a moment -- what'd you say?
I think you stunned the crowd
At least, that's what it seems; they've lost their breath
You dared to show your face
Defenseless, as it seems
But still you won with just one word
Apologies defeating dreams?
