This meeting's been ajourned

We haven't gotten anywhere

No more lessons to be learned

After all these years

It's just a rock overturned

To identify what wasn't shared

Plastered on the front page

Too much memory in a lingering scent

When the holy land's a living hell

With a wide open vent

It's never safe to assume

You could ever rid yourself of her perfume
