|
Well, the silence in this house |
|
It echoes in this house |
|
I pull myself together, say |
|
'today i will get out' |
|
The world, it changed without me |
|
You should hear what i've been told |
|
The streets i see are blasphemy |
|
Lined with paper cups and gold |
|
And in some dream, i think |
|
That every word i dare to speak |
|
Someone's always leaning over me |
|
Lean all over me |
|
A giant vision in the distance |
|
Chase that rainbow down |
|
I hear a pound, pound, pounding in my chest |
|
I hear a knock, a knocking sound |
|
It's the slivers flowing through my veins |
|
It's a sign that i'm alive |
|
You're lucky, oh my friend, so lucky |
|
You're lucky just to be alive |
|
As words go turning by |
|
I wish they'd all come clear |
|
In this room |
|
Another lonely afternoon |
|
I can count the lonely days |
|
I get by, as they go by |
|
Standing in the stairway by this room |
|
By this room |
|
(they've held me down for long enough; |
|
Like a flower, i need to grow) |
|
The frail and tender heart |
|
Been shipwrecked with a fool |
|
Feeling so abused, well, sometimes |
|
Life can be so cruel |
|
And the ones who make decisions for you |
|
Well, they better understand |
|
But you don't know what made me think of that |
|
Lonely afternoon |
