Waiting for Cancer

Waiting for Cancer

Today we were friends
Then became strangers again
Living in a city full of danger and pain
Waiting for cancer ..

Today we were lovers
For a brief moment in time
Living in a city full of losers and shame
Looking for answers ..

Today we were victims
Then we were rescued again
Living in a city full of rumour and stains
Waiting for freedom ..

Today we were voyeurs
Then were martyred again
Living in a city full of slander and guilt
Waiting for purpose ..

Today we were judged by the guilty 
Living in a city full of psychos and claims
Waiting for retribution ..

Today we drew the short straw
Then were surplus to requirements
Living in a city full of prophets and blame
Waiting for religion ..

Today we are but a memory
Consigned to a handful of albums and history
No longer waiting for cancer
But just waiting for nothing ..
