Why don't you touch me ?


"...
She's a lady, she's got time
Brush back your hair
And let me get to know your face

She's a lady, she is mine
Brush back your hair
And let me get to know your flesh

I've been waiting here for so long
And all the time that passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now

You stand there with your
fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me
Why don't you touch me, touch me
Touch me now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now ..."

    "(...)

    If I keep my self-control,
    I'll be safe in my soul.
    And the childhood belief
    Brings a moment's relief,
    But my cynic soon returns
    And the lifeboat burns.
    My spirit just never learns.

    Stalactites, stalagmites
    Shut me in, lock me tight.
    Lips are dry, throat is dry.
    Feel like burning, stomach churning,
    I'm dressed up in a white costume
    Padding out leftover room.
    Body stretching, feel the wretching
    In the cage
    Get me out of the cage!

    In the glare of a light,
    I see a strange kind of sight;
    Of cages joined to form a star
    Each person can't go very far;
    All tied to their things
    They're netted by their strings,
    Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings.
