So I sat and I waited, patiently for the years to pass with the violence of each day, of each coming day When they thought I was running away, I was merely gathering speed I was merely gathering speed my friend I did my best to avoid you I made all efforts not to see her my silence says too much has shades of absence and the wrecks of your touch Has your breath stopped lately? do you not see it clear? the life you knew laughs from the window oh Idiot smile where have you gone to? trust not the devil when your hands are clear I'll tell the truth for once, this time; My lies have aged to perfection Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you Has your breath stopped lately? do you not see it clear? the life you knew laughs from the window oh Idiot smile where have you gone to? trust not the devil when your hands are clear Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you
