Well it's been a volatile week or two Kissing other girls and thinking of you Sinking in too many beds like a stone Drinking with strangers up all night Legs dangling off couches found out by the light And it's dark by the time I get home Well it's been a volatile week or two Kissing other girls and tasting you Wasting my youth on old friends and grapevines Pacing platforms switching trains Midnight to Richmond take me away From a mission that's no longer mine Well it's been a volatile week or two Kissing other girls and dreaming of you Scheming a fool's fantasy in the sky Beaming with pride kneeling at your gate Singing take me inside it can't be too late You could bring me back to light So tired of fumbling with fishes that I can't see Be with me Girl I know you and I know you know me So why are you closing the door When the night is young and on the prowl Well it's left me stung singing to the owl It's gone and turned me into another great American zombie So hungry So hungry for you
