As It Is When It Was

I've kept my head against the wallI've been this way for so long nowYou weren't exactly falling over yourselfWhen last I saw youWell I always thoughtWe'd get along like a house on fireUntil you told me that I'd have to goHow can someone like you work that slowWhatever you think of meYou listen hard and I will make you seeWhatever you think of meYou listen hard and I will make you seeI don't feel anything no moreThe staid up graces consuming meI'm not grown up and I am not a boyI feel no pain and I feel no joyWell I always thoughtWe'd get along like a house on fireIn those days when the sun was warmI ran in the street where I was bornWhatever you think of meYou listen hard and I will make you seeWhatever you think of meYou listen hard and I will make you seeThe streets are so empty at this time of nightI'd rather walk on my own than flyIn a world where I'd forgotten youI found myself forgotten, tooThat's the danger of your evil booksAnd all the lies of those thieves and crooksWe sing it's our natural selvesI've not found it stolen but I had to prepare for you
