Shame to shame when you fell apart
But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say,
"Please don't forget, just lay and wait"
Pain the pain when you played the part
And you took it all up and you turned your back away
"Try to forget, and well okay."
Read the words of the captive mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, come back again
Well same the same that you've always been
When you took it all up what it took to do you in
And fall under and run away
Blame the blame on a broken heart
When you pack it all up and you make a start again
But call me up on my birthday
Read the words of the captive mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, come back again
Gone in a boat
You're drifting so
The walls you built
The push and pull
Come back again
Come back again
Well you love the love but you couldn't stay
So you gave it all up for the Mandelay bay
The plastic beach and passing plays
Shame the shame when you fell apart
But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say,
"Please don't forget, just lay and wait"
Read the words of the captive mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, please come back again
