William Burroughs Lyrics

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
