If we are to go on co-existing
There are things I would like to discuss
Like why your favorite things make you so selfish
And who these people are, posing as us
We could talk about my alter-ego
My hypochondri-acute-fear-of-d**h
About how I feel in these days as I watch you go
Quite still am I, but am still out of breath
It's a marvel that we are still living
Short as we are on the will to live
Our vital organs are no longer giving
Strength to search for the will to re-live
I'll learn to dance with the winds that are blowing
Away to the country my heart calls home
So at least you will be safe in the knowing
You never wander these fields alone
"I can see we are drawn to each other
My search is done for the tender and true
Though I had promised this weed to my brother
I'll wager my greatest treasure is you."
We've run aground and our ship is asunder
All our supplies are afloat in the bay
I can no longer enjoy this thunder
And on my swiftest wings I will away
I'm alive and that's all I can say
No need to coax you away from your play
No need to cloudy your sunshiny day (baby)
I give up and I'm runnin' away
I'm alive and that's all I can say
No need to coax you away from your play
No need to cloudy your sunshiny day
I give up and I'm runnin' away
