CHANGE

oh, the last time i fell into this room
the lights were dim, she stank of gin
the days left walls surrounding
all my thoughts within

oh, the last time she fell into the soon
yeah, pretty soon she'd fall
again, it's all
too much to hide
to leave it all behind

on the outside
all the love is spent again
on the outside
their worlds collide
in bloodshot eyes
commisserate, regulate
assassinate and recreate
the world's too thin, too over you
i cannot change or rearrange you

oh, the first time, i could hardly see
in front of me
my mind would wanter
strolling avenues
of forgotten luxury

oh, the first time
i saw these words
and played the game again
just let me in
it's been two thousand years
with just two eyes to see

on the outside
all the love is spent again
on the outside
their worlds collide
in bloodshot eyes
commisserate, regulate
assassinate and recreate
the world's too thin, too over you
i cannot change or rearrange you

oh, the last time i passed away
a chance to practice faith
i ran in circles, laughing
this is not the "me" you see today

oh, the last time
i heard her scream again
the wall's too thin
i left her kneeling
by the back door, waiting
he will come again

on the outside
all the love is spent again
on the outside
their worlds collide
in bloodshot eyes
commisserate, regulate
assassinate and recreate
the world's too thin, too over you
i cannot change or rearrange you

chasing paper
floating in the air
above the scenery
she came too late
i swore, it's not the time
or place for me
commisserate, regulate
assassinate and recreate
the world's too thin, too over you
i cannot change or rearrange you

-May 1997
