 East of Edenvale

 oh only, if only the
 gilded cage were golden
 words might have meanings
 sweet, sweet lies

 only, if only
 the garden weren't walled in
 I'd kiss that snake,
 We'd tongue kiss
 in deep deep song

 but only, its only
 the road leading nowhere
 into the suburbs
 the gate leading nowhere
 onto the road
 into the suburbs
 choking block upon block
 upon lawn upon postbox

 I'm only a bird in a tree
 of too much knowledge
