Forever Untrue

I’m forever untrue.

I’m forever longing for you.

I’m forever lost and confused.

I need you. I need you.

I walk through fields of hatred. I walk through fields of jealousy.

I’ve got that shit on my shoes and I can’t shake it off.

Rain fall down upon my head. Rain ‘till my hair blinds my eyes.

Rain till my jacket hangs heavy and my pants are black and tight.

I need you. I need you.

Juiced up on wine and bitters. Memories haunt my dreams.

I wish I’d wake up so I could find myself another drink.

No buttons on my overcoat. My hands they’re a palsy cold.

My fingers fall upon the ground like dragon bones.

I need you. I need you.

I wander from train to train, from street to avenue.

I’ve looked into many women’s eyes, but I can’t find you.

Who needs a cozy fire? Who needs cheese and wine?

I’d sell my soul just to look into my baby’s eyes!

I need you. I need you.

The more clearly that I see, the more the mist clings to the ground.

Lord Jesus Christ, won’t you help me change what I see is wrong?

The crow sleeps where the dove should rest.

There’s candles in the window of my eyes.

I’d happily exchange this nervous glow for a friendly light.

I need you. I need you.
