I need to just be alone all day You didn't like my song of the sea - Well that's okay It's got nothing to do with you But it sure as hell was at the time It wasn't what you wanted to hear You'd already decided On me saying 'I love you'
I haven't got my mind up to date I scream back through years of desolation Public parks and coffee shops Where the young punks spent their force The young lover's love took it's course We're playing lizards on the rock
Through the cigarette haze In the hole in the wall Where nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody at all Risked going down to get up any higher Well I listened to Mahler, looked over my shoulder...
I spent a lot of time with dead-shit people So I could learn to read and write I still move within those circles And maybe I'm still partly the lizard - And there's a crack above the ladder of my heart You still look at me and smile
