i talk and i dissipate
i make do..i keep time

in a busy  fair , op en plain
everything we shoot
is just fair game

in this glass chrome standard all-alone nation of one
everything can shine through

if you let it
if it lets you

to look at wires and only see
rats in cages
spinning endlessly
now thats life
thats a great life

one day *under supervision*
i might
call it my own future

isnt it amazing to think
there could be charm
in what(and how much) you drink

to get yourself  over E xpo sed..    to be  under construction
  from 9 to 5
just
take off all your weight

and lay it beside you, near the needle
which may guide you

if it lets you
if you let it

so that      when a light touch
in a dark room

calls cancer to a cause
you can strip your inner being
and prove your one of us all along

no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
