as i was approaching the soul danger zone
in mercy, you tossed me a two-sided bone
on the verge of numbness to the nth degree
in wisdom, you had alternate plans for me

one side was a trip to smokey joe's cafe
an invitation to shake, shout, and sashay
an opus of frenzy i don't touch too often
an effort to avoid the sad joyless coffin

the other side was a glimpse of a dreamcoat
that kept my titanic much longer afloat
choosing forgiveness and faith over hate
joseph turned out to be quite a soulmate

it could be a prelude of a brand new start
or the last blast of passionate joy from my heart
but i'll always be thankful that down from your throne
you tossed belladonna a two-sided bone
