Creeping round my house at dawn

I'll keep my curtains closed

If you're feeling fond of feeling wrong

Fully clothed

For a second time you're on my mind

Planted on this still

You forget I do not pay in kind

Kind's not there

For the eyes to see through

All that I do

For instance I don't have to try

I'm falling over all the right lines

We only have to leave this last

Resist all falling at the wrong times

Safe in knowledge, safe in college

I know all there is to know

To have never stepped outside this ring

Fools they flow

For the self-assured I have no cure

I only wish I was

As my entertaining thoughts grow fewer

Stills my cause

For the eyes to see through

All that I do

For instance I don't have to try

I'm falling over all the right lines

We only have to leave this last

Resist all falling at the wrong times

For the accent, for the day (don't walk just swim)

For the incidents they'll happen and they'll happen anyway (it's gonna pass)

When you leave here, leave this way (one last request)

You are far enough to be impressed

But not so far to be depressed

Drink your souvenirs and go your way

For instance I don't have to try

I'm falling over all the right lines

We only have to leave this last

Resist all falling at the wrong times

For instance I don't have to try

I'm falling over all the right lines

We only have to leave this last

Resist all falling at the wrong times
