lyrics

Verse 1:
There's a fear in the breeze like a sinking ship
That meant to dock an hour ago but thought about it too late
But it can drown with the best of 'em

You look so tired 'cos you love yourself
But I look like a beatnik, like everybody else
And you? You could really care less.

Standing is hard, I need an apparatus
'Cos I'm eating too much and getting too fat with you
And it's a lovely time

But as I sit to write with ink in my chest
I'm getting older, getting older...
And I can't think of a rhyme

Chorus:
I can't say that I knew you at all, but I want to.
Is it loud enough for you now that I need you?

Verse 2:
Look there's a man with a rose in his mouth
But his hand's not on the thorn but farther south
And he can't seem to get a good grip

You still seem beat, 'cos it's plain to see
That I'm struggling to find good company
And my pants are beginning to rip

Don't you love me now? 'Cos love can be found
When there doesn't seem to be anyone around but me
And that's just your luck!

And now you're struggling to find the proper drink
'Cos your heart is beating too fast to think
And your mind is running amok

Chorus 2x

But I mind the mind of your own
That I'm bound to

Run away, run away from the throne
So I can love you
