lyrics

She died not knowing
that her life it was going
to live forever in my mind
I'm alright knowing
she's kowtowing
to the party line of Cicero
away

Well she lived in a jail
and one of her own fashioning
with walls of reason
despair for a ceiling
though her logic seemed so fuzzy
I reckon I get it now
for she never pulled a trigger
without thinking about it first
No she never pulled a trigger
Without at least thinking it was kowtowing
she's kowtowing
she's kowtowing
she's kowtowing
to the party line of Cicero (or was it Cato and Zeno)
la la la

she'll live forever in my mind I suppose
Though the urge dear, was too great,
to bring it all full circle
and I know the feather trigger
had life left in her way
but she never picked it up without
at least first thinking
No she never pulled a trigger
Without at least saying "oh wait, I'm kowtowing
I'm kowtowing
I'm kowtowing
I'm kowtowing"
