Thirteenth track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)
lyrics
If, For Once
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2007
If, for once, I believed
In secret circus sermons
With the cuts I received
Hidden in the nightshade
When Candide candidly agreed
To praise the word and strike the deed
Like amen amputees amend
I lost my closest friend
If she was, then, deceived
By slipping soap dish pieces
And the cuts I relieved
Given to be timeworn
When germane German verbs concede
That all you’ve learned was how to bleed
When constant conquests condescend
You've lost your closest friend
