Mewithoutyou - January, 1979 Lyrics
January, 1979 saw a terrible cash(and couldn't help but laugh)As my ear pressed against the past like a glasson the wall of a house in a photograph.My forehead no longer sweet with holy kisses worthyof your fiery lips.I was floating in a peaceful sea, 'rescued' by a sinkingship.If I could become the servant of all.No lower place to fall, you watched me like a 10 carhighway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity.This looking down at the tops of the hats of uspassers-by from your 7th floor balcony...From such a height you missed creatures too smallfor sight.Carry on covert conversations and the misguided insectscrowned me their grasshopper king with a dance ofcelebration!After years with a crown on my head I've grown overfed,unconcerned & comfortably numb, kept busy indulgingin pleasures of the wealthy.(Someone make me afraid of what I've become!)At the first sign of possible trouble I turned my heelsand ran.(Oh, I’ll never learn)My life is a cup of sugar I borrowed before timebegan and forgot to return,it was a matter of time.I always said I could see so now I’m going blind,it was a matter or miserable time.But I heard somewhere there was a cure foruseless eyes?
