oioioioioi, when all around you is destroyed oioioioioi, just smile, don't be annoyed oioioioioi, when friendship seems a hollow void oioioioioi, just smile, at least you've tried oioioioioi, when all you love is just turmoil oioioioioi, make it an earthly toy oioioioioi, when it seems there's no music to enjoy oioioioioi, make it sing, you inner voice why life is a railroad streching out for miles

Now i'm haunting your house I floated right through the letterbox But where were you? And i'm emptying the fridge I turn the TV on and off But where were you? And i've traced my phantom limbs Through the art books covered dust Filled the air with spectre tears Watered the forget-me-nots And now i'm staring at the Rothkos infinitely horny, pale and dumb. Oh love, i've waited just to shake you baby. but where were you? I'm all see-through baby, but where in the hell are you? Your childhood photos on the wall it hurts, I make it float smash fall cry out a whimpering boo where are you? I burn the eggs, spill the juice no cream no sugar seem to do sticky with tears and goo all I can taste is you Oh love i've waited just to shake you baby. but where were you? i got lost in your bedsheets. but where in the hell are you?
