YOU KNOW IT’S EVIL WHEN YOU’RE LIVING ALONE

From the Dire Straits song 'Water of Love'

Stay until the walls dissolve,
problem solved.
 
No Mustangs on this Mesa
just a billion stars,
a vendetta forgotten, secured.
 
And test the good water,
that which is gifted
from the highest mountain.
 
Test it! See if it fails!
For It could not, would not,
will never fail!
And so, like a coward,
I heeded wisdom,
       I abandoned my strife.
 
One day a Real Mustang
will come to the Mesa,
winged and glowing,
       its sword aflame!
