I'm standing on the cliff top, watchin' storm clouds grow
|
It's disappointment time again, I've been up here before
|
The wind balloons my jacket, seabirds collide below
|
A pier stands on a hundred stilts, some stranded UFO
|
I've stopped the car, in a dead end street
|
Rear view mirror, nothing but empty seats
|
I could brace myself, smash through the concrete
|
Find what's behind that wall of insecurity
|
|
From gin and jags, to squalor and scab
|
Selena, what a drag
|
Once we were, back to back
|
Almost there, but white was black
|
|
Why me, designed to compete
|
Always, flirtin' with defeat
|
Why me, I knew it when we met
|
Hell, what else could you expect
|
Why me, hungry for affection
|
It ends, with chaos and rejection
|
|
Through the wall and over the cliff
|
I made the decision, you took quite a risk
|
Selena says, as she strokes my head
|
With luck like yours, you should be dead
|
|
Forget the past and melt my silver spoon
|
Selena, not a minute too soon
|
Broke the chains of negativity
|
At last I score a victory
|
|
Why me, no need to compete
|
Nowadays, I think at defeat
|
She's me, I felt it when me met
|
That feel, cancels all regret
|
Me, the center of attraction
|
The end, adds to your confusion
|
I'm standin' on the cliff top, waving, waving
|
|
Why me, no need to compete
|
Nowadays, I wink at defeat
|
She's me, I felt it when we met
|
That feel, cancels all regret
|
Still me, the center of attraction
|
The end, adds to your confusion
|
I'm standin', on the cliff top
|
Waitin' for the cops
|
