Analysis of When It's Over
Even when it's over some stay in the stands
They just can't believe that "joy" was in their hands
Even when it's over some stay in the bonds
They just can't believe that "fire" was in their ponds
Even when it's over some stay in the soups
They just can't believe that "ruse" was in their dupes
Even when it's over some stay in the games
They just can't believe that "loss" was in their claims
Even when it's over some stay in the beds
They just can't believe that "sick" was in their heads
Even when it's over some stay in the homes
They just can't believe that "lice" was in their combs
Even when it's over some stay in the pains
They just can't believe that "luck" was in their gains
Even when it's over some stay in the faiths
They just can't believe that "life" was in their wraiths
