Turn On Me |
|
You can fake it for a while, bite your tounge and smile, like every mother does her ugly child. But it starts to leaking out, like spittle from a cloud, amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound. You entertaining any doubts, 'cause you had to know that I was fond of you. Fond of Y-O-U. Though I knew you masked your distain I can see the change was just too hard for us, you always had to hold the reigns, but where I'm headed you just don't know the way. |

So affections fade away, or do adults just learn to play, the most ridiculous repulsive games? All our favorite ruddy sons, and their double-barreled guns, you'd better hurry rabbit, run, run, run! 'Cause mincing you is fun, and there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world set on taking over. But brittle thorny stems, they break before they bend, and neither one of us is one of them. |
|
And the tears will never mend, 'cause you had it in for me so long ago. I don't know why and I don't care, well hardly anymore. If you'd only seen yourself hating me, when I'd been so much more than fair. But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare. The one thing I know has still got you scared. Yeah all that cold ire, and never once aired on a dare! |

You had to know know that I was fond of you. Fond of Y-O-U. So I took your licks at the time. A change like that is just so hard to do, don't let it whip-crack you life. And I'll bow out from the fight - Those old pius sisters were right - the worst part is over, now get back on that horse and ride. |
