it started on a summer's day
when the sun did not console me
a boy with only longing
for some soulful girl to hold him

we move beneath the darkness
we slide between the cracks
we are the ones who never find
gold on beaten tracks

we all got problems dude
you're not in solitude
just take the time to rest your bones
to be alone

as I reflect
on disconnect
I see that I was screaming
for way way far

what's with all these people
that I see on my TV
each sinner's backing winners
and they say it could be me

love makes you do
what you wouldn't do
if you had a choice
if you had no voice

I saw a straight line
but walked a crooked path
as the road was full of tarmac
I put my feet on grass

I was born with low IQ
my parents were not well to do
my father died when I was two
my mother did what she could do

he came from a dark place
he came with a load
life on his etched face
his sorrow below

well I went to your parties
and the wine tasted good
but the walks home were lonely
feeling misunderstood
