Carry Me Away

May twenty-something
sometime in the blinding A.M.
I'm numb, feeling nothing
help me put myself back together again
shield me from a stray sunray
carry me away

All these parties seem to blend together
to form an impressionist blood clot in my mind
you're somewhere in there
time after time, believing another guy's line
it's all a lie, so I'm coming your way
to carry you away

Oh, this vampire of a life
this undead love I'm losing
it's making me crazy for you, more and more
you know, the punchbowl is spiked
and it's you I'm cruising for
a bruise, a glare at you and I'm out the door

The song is aching in my head
to match the dull ache in my heart
I'm walking the night of the living dead
help me put myself into my art
meet me in the subway
and carry me away

All these girls seem to blend together
like rain falling on Monet flowers
you're somewhere in there
wasting away precious moonlight hours
in his arms, without a word to say
to carry you away

You know, this zombie lifestyle
this undead life I'm choosing
over you, crazy beautiful you, more and more
you know I don't know just why
but it's you I'm still bluesing for
put on you shoes, I'm taking you to the dancefloor

I'll carry you away
from all these fakes
for both our sakes
what do you say?
