(Margery and Clive happen upon the same tavern. Sitting on adjacent stools, consumed by their thoughts, they have yet to notice each other.)nnTake another drag from your cigarette with your body propped up like a marionette.nA glass in hand, drink on your breath - you down the sorrows out.nnIt's another night of loneliness with a barstool as your only friend.nnI think the ship's going down, bail out the water.nMan the starboard side, here comes another.nnYour head tilts back with a snap of the neck.nThe barmaids outline; silhouette.nYour inside shakes, it's trembling, you barely hear the sound.nnThat pretty girl and what she said, you're both feeling desperate.nnThe tunnel's closing now, the light's getting softer.nThere's a blackout up ahead, we'd better find her a lover.nnAnd he sings to himself, I only wanted him to stay home.nAnd she sings to herself, I only wanted to sing songs.nnSo keep the breathing loud.nnShe takes your hand and leads you down to the crowed floor, you speak in shouts.nYou hold her close and kiss her mouth with a practiced routine charm.nnIn these chemicals you're nearly drown but she's all yours now.nnThe vessel's creaking loud, the mast snaps from the pressure.nWaves pouring over the bow.nThere's been no break in the weather.nnYou hold the door and lead her out.nThe silent air's a welcomed sound; two shadows in an empty townnwalking arm and arm.nA smile for endearing words and a solemn loving vow.nnThis trek has left you both cold, your bed has so much to offer.nBut be careful lonely boy you know that's somebody's daughter.nnAnd she sings to herself, I think I've finally found what I've longed for.nAnd he sings to himself, at least tonight I'll stay warm.nOh you should feel so ashamed.nnAnd now she's right where you want her.nYou've turned out just like your father.
