This is not love This is not even worth a point of view In echo park I Pause for effect and whisper who are you? They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I have your names Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late' Now I feel young Does everything stop when the old times lapse They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I'm still running from the telephone
We'll take a taxi to the show We could report by phone We could remind ourselves that We must laugh
Reconsider: 'fame' I need new reasons This is detention it's not fun at all
Remind me to smile You know, 'the old friends' line It gets so I feel like I'm in this cold, glass, cage
I've got the horrors Check, over my shoulder I punch the air and fight but No-one's there
You you - Oh no Old scars - don't show We fall - you see Crawl crawl - in love I dive - so clean Young things - don't scream Toys toys - so far Boys boys - you are
(Chorus)
Get off the car Get off the phone Move from my window, leave me alone
Keep your revivals Keep your conventions Keep all your fantasies that's all we are
it's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out And i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second i thought i remembered you
So now i'm alone Now i can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that i just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you
We are young, we can break Watch us fall We can take some train down to the sea We are glass, we are glass We are real, you can touch Just for now, and then say "hey you, which way is down?" We are glass, we are glass We slip down And old eyes don't cry for me 'Cos I doubt I'm and I doubt you And never, never goin' to doubt We are glass, we are glass They run fast impressions Of the floors inviting Stay with me, stay with me They run past with telephones they scream Well would you turn all this down Trun all this down You are replaced you are you And our dreams are real and dreams are all we need We are glass, we are glass
We'll take a taxi to the show We could report by phone We could remind ourselves that We must laugh
Reconsider: 'fame' I need new reasons This is detention it's not fun at all
Remind me to smile You know, 'the old friends' line It gets so I feel like I'm in this cold, glass, cage
I've got the horrors Check, over my shoulder I punch the air and fight but No-one's there
You you - Oh no Old scars - don't show We fall - you see Crawl crawl - in love I dive - so clean Young things - don't scream Toys toys - so far Boys boys - you are
(Chorus)
Get off the car Get off the phone Move from my window, leave me alone
Keep your revivals Keep your conventions Keep all your fantasies that's all we are
Where is my outline I start to fade No concentration means 'fail' these days
I leave the table saying 'I am real' I feel the pressure like your eyes on me Don't mention that name and books on love I can't be sure, I can't be sure
You end on reel one You end on reel one
You quote from 'anxious' and things we do I need protection from the likes of you
Do you begin to see that I don't know I live on memories that are hard to find Send me a card and write 'I think of you' I'll say you lied, I'll say you're lying
You are, you are
Tell me a secret I'm sure to fall My dog runs A.W.O.L. I blame you all
We're in formation saying 'safe, safe, safe' Turn up my collar and mix with dark The speaker turns on me spot her eyes It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe
The alarm rang for days You could tell from conversations I was waiting by the screen I couldn't recognize my photograph Me, I disconnect from you
I was walking up the stairs Something moved in silence I could feel his mind decaying Only inches away from me And I disconnect from you
Please don't turn me off I don't know what I'm doing outside Me and the telephone that never rings If you were me what would you do Me, I disconnect from you
Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It's the only way to live In cars Here in my car I can only receive I can listen to you It keeps me stable for days In cars Here in my car The image breaks down Will you visit me please If I open my door In cars Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right In cars I know I've started to think I know I've started to think
She sits in the corner Where it's reasonably quiet Drinking coffee with cream Thinking stories of young love She calls to the waiter 'Won't you lend me some time? You can sit by my side And I'll let you be friends with mine.'
The cafe is old But the candlelight's new She orders Beaujolais wine And says 'I've thought of you too'
She whispers 'Isn't it odd You remind me of songs That I'd rather forget Like feelings I longed for
You haunt me inside Sometimes I recall Question mistakes Who grew to nothing at all'
I hear voices that cry And one of them's mine All the things I could say Are the reasons I can't She says 'I've seen you before In thoughts I call 'son' Like an old film with sound When the link comes undone'
The waiter is me And the woman is you And we are the story Just like others I knew
it's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out And i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second i thought i remembered you
So now i'm alone Now i can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that i just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you
This is not love This is not even worth a point of view In echo park I Pause for effect and whisper who are you?
