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)
