time it was on the frozen ground/ my feet fell down without a sound/ now spring has come & love is young/ but for me it was never found/ & everywhere I see even numbers/ chairs & tables just big enough for two/ while in my body the seed still slumbers/ awaiting somebody new.
now
you tell me not to grieve/ I’ll find someone who will not leave/ cause I’m so
clever he’ll stay forever/ you don’t know why I don’t believe/ well maybe if
your deeds matched your speaking/ the way your necktie matched her shoes/ I’d
have some hope for what I’m seeking/ & march with you, two by two.
(chorus) I make you laugh until you choke/ I suck up
& say please/ as you lie braided in her body/ I sleep alone & freeze/
will I remain the eternal brother/ when even animals find each other?/ they
shelter one another like lovers do/ I watch them go by, two by two.
she
came half naked to the door/ I’d never felt so alone before/ my eyes went in to
see your sin/ although I’d sworn not to want you anymore/ but all I can do is
guilty spying/ on a life I thought I knew/ & you dare to ask me why I’m
crying/ then blow by me, two by two.
(chorus)
seven
years I’ve lived like this/ in the memory of just one kiss/ & one who didn’t
desert me but only hurt me/ you couldn’t know how much I’ve missed/ I’m always
smiling, I’m never hating/ I’m always overcompensating/ I give too little, I
give too much/ I live for the simplest touch/ & you caress like propaganda/
your every breath a tender slander/ where all I feel’s forever banned/ there’s
more to me than meets your hand/ there’s more to me/ there’s more to me/ there’s
more to me...
there
I stood the other day/ you held her tight & down you lay/ all my half-assed
schemes, my collision dreams/ & like a car wreck I couldn’t look away/ I’m
Switzerland neutral in every war/ but on my borders you still came through/
& made me want this even more/ as you walked away, two by two. (chorus)
