Racked my brain, boy was it loud
 The clouds spoke to me and we all grew down
 Our roots took hold of the cracks in the ground
 And the sidewalks rose up to greet me
 
 Hello, hello
 Pleased to meet you
 
 Had I been awake all of that time?
 Big red line across your soul
 Blood running out like a funeral
 I've seen the look of your eyes
 How can I soothe?
 Blood running out
 Like a fountain of youth
 
 Living alone, the tenements are full
 Of people in their bedclothes under disappointment's rule
 Talking to their TVs, yeah, the pictures they talk back
 Lost somewhere in make-believe with the world upon their backs
 
 Hello, hello
 Pleased to meet you
 
 I'm a sailor on your open book
 Though you write it down in code
 You're a language I hope someday to know
 
 Had I been awake all of that time?
 Big red line across your soul
 Blood running out like a funeral
 I've seen the look of your eyes
 How can I soothe?
 Blood running out
 Like a fountain of youth
