|
I'm staying stubborn in retreat |
|
I was standing on your corner |
|
Pondering defeat |
|
An old lady fixed my collar |
|
Said, her steps were getting steep |
|
I said, "I live by the top |
|
But not permanently" |
|
I know you follow, I can hear you |
|
And the patter of your feet |
|
I'm looking like I'm still half asleep |
|
And it feels like your standing on me |
|
Why do you ask me? |
|
I don't know my way |
|
Why do you keep me here? |
|
I have no more cards to play |
|
I've got eyelids like concrete |
|
They're too numb to blink |
|
You drain the life out of me |
|
I've forgotten how to think |
|
I was sitting on a fortune |
|
Now I'm staring down a sink |
|
I've got one too many itches |
|
And you're just another sting |
|
You can hope that I might |
|
But I never feel a thing |
|
You can hope that I might |
|
But I never feel a thing |
|
Why do you ask me? |
|
I don't know my way |
|
Why do you keep me here? |
|
I have no more cards to play |
|
A strange thing happened in my mind |
|
All your words turned to scribble |
|
By the time I recognize |
|
I never looked right |
|
In the reflection in your eyes |
|
I'd wait to hear your voice |
|
But I never could reply |
|
Why do you ask me? |
|
I don't know my way |
|
Why do you keep me here? |
|
I have no more cards to play |
|
Why do you ask me? |
|
I have nothing left to say |
