|
By the time that you told me |
|
It was already plain that you've changed |
|
But your conscience was clean |
|
And as white as a line of cocaine |
|
My back to the wall of your bedroom apartment |
|
You're talking in circles |
|
Got your cigarettes burning |
|
And I couldn't hide I'm afraid I was to see you so |
|
strange |
|
Don't get me wrong |
|
I've got no ill will for you |
|
It's just been so long |
|
I thought I'd always know you |
|
But you're so far gone |
|
Up where the air gets thin |
|
You cut the kite strings |
|
I've read my name in lights |
|
I've seen my face in papers |
|
But my civilian life I spent 10 good years |
|
Waiting (x8) for you |
|
You charmed a snake |
|
You picked the card |
|
You bent the spoon |
|
A curved plane |
|
Shapes change |
|
Euclid's made to play the fool but you |
|
I don't know what that stuff does to you |
|
And I don't know if it's real but |
|
I spent a decade in love with you |
|
And I can't tell if you're here |
|
The man I knew |
|
I don't think that he can hear me now |
|
So dizzy with the altitude |
|
Just too far |
|
Who am I to tell you to come down |
|
(Lucky that my ? don't perversely go poisoned) |
|
Who am I to tell you to come down |
|
(Sit back and raise a glass, a glass to ease your |
|
choices) |
|
Who am I (x3) to tell you to come down (x2) |
|
The man I knew |
|
I don't think that he can hear me now |
|
So dizzy with the altitude |
|
Just too far |
|
Tell you.. |
|
Last night you came to kiss me in a dream but when I |
|
woke |
|
What kind of foolishness is this breathe out a lungful |
|
of your smoke |
|
I've seen you ? |
|
Let it burn |
|
I've seen you at your brightest what a mind |
|
let it burn |
|
so who am i to serve you on my terms? |
|
So who am I to tell you to come down |
