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
