Once inside a prison
With a face of chains and bars
I put my arms around her
And dissolved into the stars
Laughter danced like flowers
While the rainbows were reborn
Or had she come to kill me
Like some silver unicorn
We drove across the mountains
Of a land I'd once forgot
And argued like a couple
When the weather gets to hot
But she took me for a stranger
In the light of early dawn
And wept she'd come to kill me
Like some silver unicorn
Her weapons were all poison
As white as foam and snow
Her voice and face a memoir
I'd written long ago
In a chamber where they bury
Those who weep and mourn
For lives of misadventure
And some silver unicorn
So I traveled like a soldier
And kept my sabre clean
At ready for the staircase
With its wounds of gangrene
Then draped across my fencer's thighs
She fluttered like a fawn
Although our minds were racing
Like some silver unicorn
And then when she was dying
I tied to change her course
But the weapons that I carried
Were obsolete and force
So I ended up by bleeding
On the carpet and the lawn
In a theatre of tears
For some silver unicorn
Had I rode like magic man
And touched her missing bit
A cavalier of roses
With a cloak that didn't fit
And so I own the petals
And the blood that touched a thorn
'Cause I'm alive and kicking
Like some silver unicorn
