I've Owned You For Centuries

Robert Pollard


When you were drowsier 
You were not quick to scare 
Back then I could take you 
Back then I could move you around and:

"Go down now!" you insist 
So I want to ride along the fried out beaches 
Everything is moving fast 
Everything is new and clean

Things have changed and quite soon 
Condominiums on the moon 
Will you still hate me? 
Will you still rate me so low?

And no man is beautiful 
But be kind to me 
I'll make a sudden change in uniform 
But it's still me 
I've owned you for centuries
