28856 - MeWithoutYou
January 1979 saw a terrible crash
(and couldn't help but laugh )
My ear pressed against the pass
Like a glass on a wall of a house in a photograph
My forehead no longer sweet with the
Holy kisses worthy of your fiery lips
I was floating in a peaceful sea 'rescued'
By a sinking ship
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall (If could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall (If I could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall (If could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall
You watch me like a ten car highway
Wreck with detached vulgar curiosity
This looking down at the tops of the
Hats of us passers-by from your
7th floor balcony
From such a height you missed
Creatures too small for sight
Carry on covert conversations
And the misguided insects crown
Me their grasshopper king
With a dance of celebration
After years with a crown on my head
I've grown overfed
Unconcerned and comfortably numb
Kept busy indulging in the pleasures of the wealthy
(Someone make me afraid of what I’ve become )
At the first sign of possible sorrow
I turned my heels and ran
(Oh I’ll never learn )
My life is a cup of sugar I’ve
Borrowed before time began and forgot to return
It was a matter of time--I always said
I could see so now I’m going blind
(I could be your servant)
It was a matter of time--I always said
I could see so now I’m going blind
(If I could be your servant)
It was a matter of time--I always said
I could see so now I’m going blind
(I could be your servant)
It was a matter of miserable time--
But I heard somewhere
There was a cure for useless eyes
