i've been caught in a crime

i don't know and i don't mind it; i'm flying blind

people try to feel me out, get inside

i'm a lost cause. i'm a porcupine.

you and all the others doing fine

do you still decide to stay indoors?

are you cold and chrome and cauterized?

i've a collection called the battered boy



well it's after the end and i'm still around

i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down 

it's after the end and i'm here alone

it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn



any sign of life shines like a lighthouse 

i can see the shore

in the aftermath of enterprise 

you'll be careful what your looking for

i've learned to do your lines 

i don't need your conversation anymore



cause it's after the end and i'm still around

i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down 

it's after the end and i'm here alone

it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn



another life to think about is problematic anyhow

i will build my home

this tragic scene will never last i am a machine 

i'm moving fast

piling up the bones



but she goes slow she can move like a wave

been through hell beating out our mistakes

meet me at al's and she said it's a date

it's two o'clock; she must have just missed the train



it's after the end and i'm still around

i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down 

it's after the end and i'm here alone

it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn
