The Final Cut

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
Beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priest-hole
If I’m in I’ll tell you what’s behind the wall.

I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but;
Just then the phone rang.
I never had the nerve
To make the final cut.
