I don’t believe we’ve ever talked
about it like this before
Conversations ablate or are only half-cocked
until we say nothing at all
In the City of Dreaming Spires
we’d be without the sleep a taxing tour requires
Devotion took us anywhere, mind you
Now your yearnings have impaired
I long, I long to play along
for a song
So what could possibly go wrong?
Farther north we had this altercation
standing in the rain outside on Sauchiehall St.
You began your late-night transformation
Driving you away, I heard your bleat
- You know who I admire
But I’ll never be the guy who knows what you aspire
I guess it counts for both of us:
Intoxicating things and wanderlust
I long, I wanna string along
into your song
So what the hell is wrong?
