Hello sweet creature Won't you give me some bloodlike guarantee I've been listening to myself too long And they're making a prophet out of me I'm as empty as a shell can ever be I've been walking through the desert No it must have been the library Reading a book which once gave me hope Now it's making a fool out of me I'm as empty as a shell can ever be Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself Never noticed that the crowds were leaving Never looked for anyone else Now it's market day almost every day Yet they give away their love for free I'm just waiting for a ship to come And it's making a slave out of me I'm as empty as a shell can ever be Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself Never noticed that the crowds were leaving Never looked for anyone else Hello sweet creature Won't you give me some bloodlike guarantee I've been listening to myself too long I've been walking through the desert Must have been the library ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by Paul Webb [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
