pound of flesh

• bir regina spektor şarkısı
  
  if you're never sorry
  then you can't be forgiven
  if you're not forgiven
  then you can't be forgotten
  if you're not forgotten
  then you can live forever
  if you live forever
  then you'll begin to dream
  of death...
  
  ezra pound sat upon my bed
  asked me which books as of late i've read
  
  ezra pound sat upon my bed
  asked me which books as of late i've read
  asked me if i've read his own
  and whether i could spare a pound
  of flesh to cover his bare bones
  i says, man, take a pound, take two
  what's a pound of flesh between
  friends like me and you?
  what's a pound of flesh among friends?
  
  but if you're never sorry...
  
  if you're never sorry
  then you can't be forgiven
  if you're not forgiven
  then you can't be forgotten
  if you're not forgotten
  then you must live forever
  if you live forever
  you cannot be reborn
  if you're not reborn then
  you can't be a baby
  if you're not a baby
  you can't learn how to crawl
  if you cannot crawl away
  then you must stay in bed all day
  if you stay in bed all day
  you're sure to have some visitors
  
  ezra pound'll sit upon your bed
  ask you which books as of late you have read
  ask you if you've read his own
  and whether you could spare a pound
  of flesh to cover his bare bones
  you'll say, man, take a pound, take two
  what's a pound of flesh between
  friends like me and you?
  what's a pound of flesh among friends?
