Verse:
Karen Flynn sits at the bar
Her eyes reflect the drink she gazes past
the ice just melts away as the years have done
Her eyes don't move, but her mind sees every slightest motion
Save the glass come tilting toward her lips
with unfelt dose of potion
Chorus 1:
And the barman bends to scoop the ice
And some good old boys exchange advice
And all God's children compromise
Their dreams set in motion once again
By unfelt dose of potion
Verse:
The night wears on, her intuition
pierces through the fog descendin' on the
lies left in the bar at closin’
But when last call comes around the room
the corner stool sits empty, no one sees her hurry from the light
she did not want imposin’
Chorus 2:
And the barman turns to get those lights
And the regulars all say goodnight
And all God's children hold on tight
To dreams set in motion once again
By unfelt dose of potion.
Bridge:
Into the night the lost souls stray
But love and light will find a way
come creepin’ in behind the gray
like a sunrise on the ocean
And while we wait upon the beach
Our hands can put our hearts in reach
by lifting to our tongues…the unfelt dose of potion
Verse:
Karen Flynn now sitting in
Her living room has traded in
the company of strangers for the demons from her past
Till kneeling she comes to that table set for her devotion
and her heel comes down on Satan's head
With saving dose of potion
Chorus 3:
And the lonely souls on broken ice
are melted in the sacrifice
And all God's children see the light (sometimes)
in dreams set in motion once again
By unfelt dose of potion
