lyrics

she sits on the stairs
minding her air
to be anonymous
and once so saccharine to me
how did i lose her trust?
i'm writing a hymn
to etch my madness in the sun
a lament, and i look on everyday as though
i've only lived through one
without her love
i'm alone

i'm out in the yard
taking it hard
playing the invalid
another burn out doomsday kid
flippin' his lid
and i fell in the holy dark
shrouded and unseen
i loosen my grip upon reality
and crawl inside my dreams
where i can be happy
naive

she sits on the stairs
combing her hair
ever illuminous
the great enigma of our time
will put me to dust
i'm writing a hymn
to etch my madness in the sun
a lament, and i look on everyday as though
i've only lived through one
without her love
i'm alone

i'm standing in line
dressed to the nines
for my deliverance
as aloof as she could be
to my penitence
and i fell in the holy dark
shrouded and unseen
i loosen my grip upon reality
and crawl inside my dreams
where i can be happy
naive
