Handfulls of sleeping pills washed down with a bottle of wine Couldn't stop my mind, couldn't hold me attention From noticing the cracks, the holes in my logic And the permanence of the things that I have done
I notice as I'm riding on a subway late at night In the flickering light, that I have always loved Imaginary princesses - it's a simple, brutal truth That while riding high, I am Don Quixote
I am a bull in a china shop while stick-limbed, skinny, frail I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away And for my crimes they packed me up and shipped my soul away So my fragile arms couldn't cause you and harm or any pain
A letters come down from the sky she write a lot of nothing But I lose my mind and spend a whole week thinking Of all the things I never did - that last and final pomise That I couldn't keep - couldn't make it 'cross the border
Every time I touch the phone the urge takes hold my fingers And my words turn cruel, I'll make her say she loves me Forgetting at the other end a pair of trembling fingers Dials frantically - my imaginary girlfriend
I am a bull in a china shop while stick-limbed, skinny, frail I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away And for my crimes they packed me up and shipped my soul away So my fragile arms couldn't cause you and harm or any pain
So forgive me for the things I've done and all I never did And I'll try to do the same for you, I know you're just a kid
