The New Stuff

    this doesn't seem right
    we shoulda went south
    you said that we might
    i got it straight from her mouth

    kissing so lightly
    you look so serene
    these thoughts will fight me
    fatuously clean

    and maybe you'll see this

    the nights are cold
    it's sketchy place
    i ache to hold
    and i long to see that smiling face

    but we both know
    how it would end
    you'd smile, then go home
    tell 'em you made a new friend

    it would end more scattered
    than the last time
    you'd pretend it never mattered
    that all's sublime
    leaving my mind so tattered
    from your emotional crimes

    but maybe you'll hear this
    on your radio
    think i wrote it for you
    well i didn't, so go

    no words have you spoken
    since we've been apart
    and the locks are now broken
    i've re-opened my heart

    It's a peaceful escape
    away from the cocks
    a life to reshape
    in these doors without locks

    and now i really do know
    just how it will end
    and although i was a bit slow
    you can tell 'em i've made a new friend

    i've packed you away
    pulled you out of my mind
    and i still feel okay
    i'm no longer blind

    and maybe she'll feel this too
