She mixes you up and makes you come down. And I'm gone enough to fall for that now. She's only cool tonight and I've lost your sight. But that lullaby can never get me home.
She picked me out of the millions. Thumbing an OED. Dressed me down to civilian. Cracked the code on the Rosetta Stone. Said the word for alone is "alone".
She used to love me and that was such an obstacle. Running around in the bad hand me downs of someone else's girl. She's using my name and making a face.
You run away with my sleep and I'm stuck in here so deep. I had a terrible dream and I can't wake up it seems. In my parallel field, what's imagined is real.
Give yourself away if you want. How did your daddy get so gaunt?. It's a pretty face that you know. . What's a boy to do. When a girl's untrue?. Put your bell on your bike.
Took an exit sign to a world of motel time. Where we walk a crooked line and high is low. Trust your sad MC, time to kill the bar Telly. . When the lights come on you'll see we're still alone.
Alice, can you hear me?. Tonight the sky's not clearing. You'll never see Cassiopeia. You're there at your department. I'm here in your apartment. Another night I'll spend alone.
