James William Burroughs
At school he always had to hide His feelings buried deep inside A poker face, his features froze At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
He talked but never moved his lips Made love but never used his hips His skin unused fell to decay From fleshy pink to ashen grey
It's enough to crack a smile It's enough to make you blind It's enough to make you live your life backwards It's enough to drive you out of your mind
And he became a figurehead A 3-D sign that might be dead And no one knew his state of mind He fell into the great divide
It's enough to crack a smile It's enough to leave you blind
At school he always had to hide His feelings buried deep inside A poker face, his features froze At 12 he looked like William Burroughs William Burroughs William Burroughs William Burroughs Burroughs Burroughs Burroughs
