I was all alone I shook the rust And then I slept When i awoke the streets were dust My blankets lead Half of a hermaphrodite in bed Out of sync with the star in your head Fly through night and up for hours Beneath the smoke and radio towers When you find you're on your own and all alone You'll see that I can be your friend We made it on to New Years Day I sang my song I lit a flame inside my stove It kept me warm We were nearly old With heavy hands and stubborn jaws But i was wrong, we're what we are We're never young Half of a hermaphrodite in bed Out of sync with the star in your head Fly through night and up for hours Beneath the smoke and radio towers When you find you're on your own and all alone You'll see that I can be your friend
