Dan Black

I am disguised, I was hypnotized
Lost the track, struggle back
I wanted easy, stuff to please me
Something in the dark began to squeeze me
See me there, thinner in the mirror
Totally focused, no hocus-pocus
Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin
To win, thinking how to
As the lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
Score rise up, angels play, let my loneliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
I lie down in the dust just under your eye
A scrap of paper thin as vapour
Filling my clothes like smoke
A couple of the wires in my heart are broke
I throw, I miss, something, nothing but dreams
Schemes, moments wasted
Taste I tasted, fate I'm fated, re-edited again then copy-pasted
As the lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
Score rise up, angels play, let my loneliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
When I wanna quit, I suffocate it
I chew Bubblicious, stress repetitious
Vicious, I'm one outsider up above the streets on the DC wire
Higher, fire in my guts, in a rut, but what I've got
Is in no can, no other human
But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony
As the lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
Score rise up, angels play, let my loneliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
Gimme, gimme symphonies, gimme more than the life I see
