SUNDAY AT SIX/DEFENSELESS

Sunday at Six (Defenseless Part One)
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985

Plans were made for you well in advance
So, really, you didn't have much of a chance
To avoid what befell you that overcast eve
When premonition warned you 'twas your time to leave
But, as so often, you chose to ignore
The importance of what your mind told you before
So, you were left defenseless, without your bag of tricks
When fate played its joke on you Sunday at Six

Defenseless (Sunday at Six Part Two)
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985

You knew what was happening
You saw it all before
Yet you let the feeling pass
And now your digging your own grave
Because you didn't care
About her heart of glass
   On a Sunday evening
   Your fate was set in stone
   When you walked into a trap that you helped set
   Six o'clock approaches
   I hope you're not alone
   But then I guess you deserve what you'll get
And you dared to show your face
Without any defense
To the world it seems like suicide
It doesn't make any sense

The minutes ticking rapidly
The showdown coming close
But you stand and face the draw
Those memories are haunting you
Aren't they, little fool?
The spectres, laughing, knowing what you saw
   And now the curtain rises
   You've made the opening play
   You're standing face to face with social death
   But wait a moment -- what'd you say?
   I think you stunned the crowd
   At least, that's what it seems; they've lost their breath
You dared to show your face
Defenseless, as it seems
But still you won with just one word
Apologies defeating dreams?
