Moral - Sofie Winterson

Take my money as you go and

All this time appears to show that

You need it more than I do now

I’m writing down the outlines

Finding clues in daylight

I know it starts all over now

There is a moral to the story

But I don’t know what it is

I recognize the story

But there is something that I miss

Leave the table when you’re done and

Past the door you start to run

I need you more than I detect

I wrote the story backward

It didn’t ask the question

Can you tell me what it meant

There is a moral to the story

But I don’t know what it is

I recognize the story

But there is something that I miss

If it starts all over

Let me know the clue

Cause I try to find a moral

And I don’t think it is you

Ooh, and it’s not the mouth that gets it right

From the start it’s nice as one could want

Ooh, as if there’s something there to find

But the only thing is time

Ooh, and it’s not

Ooh, and it’s not

Ooh, and it’s not (Moral to the story)

Ooh, and it’s not (Moral to the story)

Take my money as you go and

All this time appears to show that

You need it more than I do now
