Oh, Olivia, I've lost my heart again To a thief in the night with your hair and your hands and your skin She held me at bay with eyes the size of the moon But oh, Olivia, I wish I was home with you I watched as she tossed shadows across the light My little red heart was wrenched and twisted inside Nailed to her cross I was unable to move Olivia, save me and take me back home with you I found a star that fits in the palm of my hand It fell from your sky and drifted down towards my land I hear a bird with a throat of golden hues Oh, Olivia, I'll follow her home to you I rode through the night to fall down at your door Exhausted by love and the heart it's hungry for So put out the fire and let's go back to your room Oh, Olivia, it's good to be home with you

Fend for myself Seems we need to find a better path to hunt I think I've met my match They seem to have the upper hand, and they see me as their catch You can run You can your fast legs will run You can run but you'll never get far away from us Just around the bend I think I know a hiding place to throw a wrench into their plans If I should die before I reach you Tell the cubs I loved them and I tried to do some good You can run You can your fast legs will run You can run but you'll never get far away from us

V1 Artists use a paintbrush Poets use a pen Teachers molding hearts and minds Much respect for them! Doctors check your symptoms Mechanics use a wrench Robbers want to get inside Wind up in the clink C1 If you like what you do If you love what you do Never have to work V2 Rockers like to scream on stage Politicians smile Architects design great things Fashionistas style Athletes run and jump and score Accountants pay the bills Tightrope walkers death defy Giving us the chills C2 You’ll never have to work a day Don’t worry bout the man or society Enjoy each minute learn to be in it Don’t forget how to play

In our clench, we turn the wrench Compressing tighter and tighter And on the screens, it's so obscene Society is on fire The human race has lost its grace The humble conscience has faded They watch us fall, replace us all Machine and soul have been traded Population segmentation Termination activation Adaptation insemination Replication replication Under their skin and deep within You see the circuitry and wires And in their mind they have defined The synchronized multipliers Behind their eyes you'll find what lies Is lifeless cold and insensible There is no feel nothing is real Emotion incomprehensible Population segmentation Termination activation Adaptation insemination Replication replication Population segmentation Termination activation Adaptation insemination Replication replication

It’s gone on for as long as it could Miles and memories I’ve never known something so good In the country, in the alleys You carried my loads Through rain and snow Always made my lows feel high Taking me where I’d never been Again and again and again I’m gonna miss you I’ll never forget you This life is linear progression Until suddenly it’s not On the side of the road awaiting a tow Stomach in a knot So glad that there’s a blanket Cause my body’s just so cold Don’t dare drink enough hide it So my shivers always show I’m gonna miss you I’ll never forget you Play that song we once knew Would always get us through I wish a wrench could fix it But it’s deep inside the system Hope is just four letters Misconstrued transmission I’m gonna miss you Never forget you

This week, it’s my turn, and I’m keeping it simple. Your key word is “wrench.”
