Where Are You Now

Where did you come from School of hard knocks rappin' on big time's door Chasin' fashion like you're goin' out of style And I thought this crowd was where it's at Where are you now With cold blooded porcupines huddling in fear Breaking and bandaging each other's bodies At the edge of a centre that was never mine Who's speakin' now Me for you or you for me You might as well tell me, not many are listening And you're so far away I've learned to live without you anyway Where did you come from They're draggin' bloody bodies out in bandage words With half cracked masks and crooked smiles Then hamster wheel into a movement Where are you now One day your words will turn against you And I'll be happy I forgot to make those promises That would only make me feel guilty Who's speakin' now Me for you or you for me Been everybody once, learning to love and to hate Now I'm not saying I'm not guilty I just don't make the mistakes you make Where did you come from A naked dream with angry red doors Where sponge walls suckle wet stories And tireless floors take you in step Where are you now Spent and wasted in a cold day dream A zombie in a clown suit and sagging smiles Following a sunburned circus into a sunset Who's speakin' now Me for you or you for me No mirror has a mouth large enough to swallow all the news that we've been fed And at times, when I'm down enough I wish that you were dead Where did you come from House of cards words collapsing in your own wind An over-rested imagination up a borrowed sleeve A presentless ribbon tapping aimless money Where are you now Tell me, where are you now Me for you and you for me Me for you and you for me Me for you and you for me Where are you now Where are you now
