Lyrics - Melinda

Another politician's getting busted

Another terror cell is getting dusted

Another corporate entity's mistrusted

Melinda is disgusted


Another Sufi woman poet dies

Another drug is plugging tighter thighs

A human gene patented for enterprise

Melinda can't sleep so she buys


She doesn't read the news

Red herrings, white lies, the blues

The balance of her life is a delicate chore

Between the resonance of love

And the dogs of war

Between the resonance of love

And the dogs of war


Another man has gone back to his wife

His criticism cuts her like a knife

Just playing for a pass to paradise

But she wonders if it's worth the price


A fantasy draws pictures in her mind

She leaves unanswered questions far behind

The warm waves taste her skin, she's undefined

The sand so white for moments she is blind


(repeat chorus)
