I didn't know what a brute I was
|
I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
|
Vengeance built me hastily
|
And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody
|
Nobody
|
|
All I had was my invention
|
And my love it fitted on you
|
Oh, look what thoughts can do
|
What thoughts can do
|
If you're not by now dead and buried
|
You're most certifiably married
|
Oh, married
|
|
I'm sure you're sleeping sound
|
With a mistress of the hours
|
The hours that grind your life to dust
|
|
Oh, easy loves
|
You keep lap pets
|
Denied them you are powerless
|
Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night
|
|
I'm not the man you thought I was
|
My love has never lived indoors
|
I had to drag it home by force
|
Hired hounds at both my wrists
|
Damp and bruised by stranger's kisses on my lips
|
But you're the one that I still miss
|
You're the one that I still miss
|
And the truth is that it comes as no surprise
|
|
I'm not the man you think I am
|
I'm not the man you think I am
|
