Never imagined I'd feel so low

I'm confused and it's starting to show

a finger-painted poster-board

for crippled smiles and empty joy

has left the building once again


[chorus:]

what can I say?

what can I do?

I can't believe I'm stuck here with you

what to believe?

what is the truth?

I'm putting all my faith into you


now that you mention my solemn face

I know it seems so out of place

a laughing stripe(?) with painted claws

is tearing up my precious cause

I'll displace for impact again


[chorus]


spring's the time for somersaults

that fall upon the winds a waltz

keep me counting days in my room

evening brings the morning doves

that end an afternoon of love

to watch the midnight stars on my roof


[chorus]
