In those days, I was nursing a hurting,
So flirting with you was a waste.
Looking back now, I wish I was younger,
But wishing's like running in place.
In your green eyes, I saw a reflection.
One of a world that was flawed.
I remember not always completely,
But now I remember it all.
We had lumped all the particles,
Cast ashore,
Looking to postpone a massacre,
That's for sure.
I swept legs,
I swept up the place,
Funny face,
Packed up my bags,
Moved to outer, no,
Inner space.
You were worried that someone was watching,
But no one was watching at all.
Have I told you you're a real good plate spinner?
You're a sinner,
But you keep us enthralled.
And chemicals are make-believe.
And remedies are too.
You jumped on the pyre
To show me the fire
That burns for you.
And these magic tricks and sorcery,
They're all indicative of the truth.
And we've got a whole lot of living to do.
It's a shame I can't live it with you.
Either cast aside or into.
Practice smiling for the next time that I see you.
