  a lot of love and affection
  whether I'm right or wrong.

  where ever it may take me

  when I come to call, she won't forsake me
  I'm loving angels instead.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,and I intend to end up there. Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks. I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way. Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.
