Did you fall off your branch, it’s just as well
Where was I when you fell?
Questions grip us while we grasp for air
A vote of confidence  that someone forgot to build
Another Crimson King left at home
To knight himself and dream of Rome

He feels so alone and up-set
He feels stuck paying this Idiot’s rent

The drum must be stopped or he will go mad
How does it feel to lose all night, all night?

Well, they were crying for the loon
While you softly paced your room
With no intention of getting anywhere
You’ve secured my lack of ambition, my dark baby
      In more ways than could be imagined

   Life is better when it’s close to the blade  
I’d raise my eye if only I could
Give you this curse, this gift…
.. This insufferable duality..

The mind must go
The drum must be stopped or he will go mad
He is going to find.. He is going to find
It’s so hard to get off
How does it feel to lose all night, all night?


New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire
