That's the Kicker

The devil you say.
Whisk me away,
Smiles Dapper Dan.
No flash in the pan.

In my hometown,
There's no money down.
We trade and we try.
Forever blue sky.

But that's looking back,
Through chinks and a crack.
The light that shines through
Can't wait up for you.

Try over again.
You sink or you swim.
What's waiting for me,
You saw and I'll see.

But after rebirth,
My dick in the dearth.
The hands of my watch,
Hold nothing worth much.

Regret that I came.
It's never the same.
Our minds shine and polish
What time has demolished.

Tonight, the cruel twist.
The heart, like a fist,
To open then close.
Where it stops, no one knows.
