The Northern Pikes - Never Again lyrics

Here in my lonely room I wait for conversation Here in this little tomb there are no obligations Here in this hollow head Are thoughts of people long gone dead Here in this friendly face you'll see no sign of anger Still in the same old place - no need to look beyond Where did the hunger go? It left the body long ago I was in love once and then it hurt me so I'll never fall in love again, in love again, in love again I put my faith in someone and then she let me down I'll never fall in love again Down at the old hotel, old soldiers sit there drinking They talk about the hell they faced When they were my age I should feel lucky but instead I only feel ashamed I had a dream last night about a book I read And in the book, the dream was dead The South Pole opened up and the penguins fell inside I thought that all the penguins died Have you ever heard a sound you didn't understand? Have you ever seen something You wished you'd never seen? Here in my lonely room, I never have to leave I was afraid once and then it hurt me so I'll never be afraid again, afraid again, afraid again I fell in love once and then it hurt me so I'll never fall in love again, in love again, in love again I put my faith in someone, and then they let me down I'll never fall in love again
