I had no idea how much I need her In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her My heart starts palpitating When I think my guess was wrong But I think I'll get alone
All I ever want to do is please her My life has been so settled And my troubles are long gone But I think I'll get along
My heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath I felt like one of those flattened ants I'd have stopped myself to give her time Was I a suicidal psychopath There was a beautiful white horse He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe
I felt like a pickled priest You've got me requisitioned blondie
Look into the face of a child Measure how long you smiled Before the mem'ry claimed How long would children remain How long could children remain
You picked me up by my lapels
