| There is no woman
|
| There is no drug
|
| There’s no amount of money or fun
|
| No conversation that I could have
|
| No entertainment that could distract
|
| Me from the voice that’s always in my ear
|
| That’s always tellin' me it doesn’t matter
|
| Everywhere I go it’s all I hear
|
| And it can hurt my head, but it can sound so sweet
|
| Wondering if I’m awake
|
| Maybe I’m dreaming
|
| Well how could I tell anyway?
|
| Try and define what was here today
|
| But then I know I can’t believe my eyes
|
| How can I tell you’re in front of me?
|
| And not a shadow made up in my mind
|
| I think I need it
|
| I know I don’t
|
| I wanna drink and
|
| I wanna smoke
|
| I wanna kiss and take off your dress
|
| If it’s not one thing, then it’s the next
|
| Thing that I’m using to get through the day
|
| That keeps me staring in the wrong direction
|
| And if I only ever look one way
|
| Then I can miss some things I might have liked to see
|
| Wondering if I’m awake
|
| Maybe I’m dreaming
|
| Well how could I tell anyway?
|
| Try and define what was here today
|
| But then I know I can’t believe my eyes
|
| How can I tell you’re in front of me?
|
| And not a shadow made up in my mind
|
| I built them up then they all fell down
|
| One at a time ‘til they laid on the floor
|
| I know they’ll be eventually run down
|
| And when it’s gone, I’ll be looking for more
|
| I built these walls up around myself
|
| They’re not as safe as I thought that they were
|
| I built them up then they all fell down
|
| It was the prettiest sound that I ever heard |
