If you gave me a fresh carnation |
|
I would only crush its tender petals |
|
With me you'll have no escape |
|
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle - |
|
I trample down all life in my wake |
|
I eat it up and take the cake |
|
I just avert my eyes to the pain |
|
Of someone's loss helping my gain |
|
If you gave me a dream for my pocket |
|
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket |
|
With me there's no room for the future |
|
With me there's no room with a view at all - |
|
I am out of season all year 'round |
|
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound |
|
Touch my heart and feel winter |
|
Hold my hand and be doomed forever - |
|
If you gave me a fresh carnation |
|
I would only crush its tender petals |
|
With me you'll have no escape |
|
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle. |
|
And if you're wondering by now who i am |
|
Look no further than the mirror - |
|
Because i am the greed and fear |
|
And every ounce of hate in you. |
