Sweet smell of deceit

Don’t give me so much love

That I forget the sweet smell of deceit

Don’t make it hard on me

I still have to survive this world



Who would warm me, when I am cold?

When this world abandon me

Who would make me feel so strong?



I’ve heard, you can buy some love

You can buy some friends too



When I turn old and grey

I lose my charm in a twist of arm

Wealth is gone in a slippery fall

  

Who would hold me, in my rainy days?

Who would kiss me, when I look so frail?

Who would miss me, when I am gone?

  

It does not matter to this world

If you are a woman or a child alone

All for sale, men alike

All that matters is a wealthy surprise



Don’t smother me with so much love

I might drown in its shallow lust

I might forget to differ between

Deceit and trust might emerge as one



Don’t you let me stoop so low

That I adore my rivals with brotherly love  

I might forget to hate my fellow mates
