You were alone when you came in You'll be alone when you leave again And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around when it's time to go home Because everybody I lean on (since I don't trust myself) Leans on someone else Watch the colonies collapse like dominos I could beg and I could plead but all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland The fossils of the teen age are well preserved I crawled on hands and knees just to be there with you and you moved on without me Scrap the crown Clean the slate Cut off your roots You're own your own Scrap the crown Clean the slate Cut off your roots You're own your own We all need something I'm a gypsy queen without a swarm and the burning bridges keep me warm I'm a new wave in a dried up stream I'm just trying to find my way out to the sea You were alone when you came in You'll be alone when you leave again And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around when it's time to go home Because everybody I lean on (since I don't trust myself) Leans on someone else Watch the colonies collapse like dominos I could beg and I could plead but all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste Crush your allies
