MISTLE THRUSH -
OVERPASS
I haven't lived very long
in this shelter
Surprised to have found I'm afraid of myself
Constructing these buildings on windows and doorways
I see that my skyscraper's starting to melt
Dominos fall on cathedrals of pleasure
I'm standing alone at the edge of the dock
When all the others have started to run
I can see that I'm only beginning to walk
I'm turning on a needle, resting on a pin
Seen through the eyes of exorbitant anger
I rule out no answers explaining the end
When all the others have waltzed through the skyline
I find I'm not willing, or able to bend
When all my enemies stand at my window
I pull back the drapes to take part in their hate
Only in time will I learn of the reasons for feeling unkind,
Though I may be too late
I'm turning on a needle, resting on a pin
The innocence there is fragile, it's delicate as sin
So I fall down, I fall down, I fall down, I fall down, chaise lounge
And I fall down, I fall down, I fall down, I fall down, chaise lounge
It's the words that you said, it's the thoughts in your head
It's the way I feel
It's the hopes that we share, it's the love of nowhere
It's the way I feel
Overpass
Overpass
Overpass
Overpass
Overpass
