I’ve fallen somehow, feet off the ground
Love is the blow that keeps raining down.
Where are you now? When I need you around
I’m on my knees but it seems we’re…
Going nowhere fast, we’ve reached the climax…
I gave my best, it wasn’t enough
You get upset, we argue too much
We made a mess of what used to be love.
So why do I care, I care at all, at all, at all, at all
I just need you one more time
I can’t get what we had off my mind,
Where are you now? When I need you around
I’m on my knees but it seems we’re…
Going nowhere fast, we’ve reached the climax.
We’re together now, we’re undone.
Won’t commit so we choose to
run away, do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up.
Can’t take it back, it’s too late,
we’ve reached the climax, climax.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Ah. That.
That’s what I was so disturbed
about this morning:
my desire has come back,
and I want you again.
I was doing so fine,
I was above it all.
The boys and girls were beautiful
and I was an old man, loving everyone.
And now I want you again,
I want your absolute attention,
your underwear rolled down in a hurry
still hanging on one foot,
and nothing on my mind
but to be inside
the only place
that has
no inside,
and no outside.
