Lyrics:
I can't see you through these wandering eyes
I'm a one-trick pony and I can't survive
See me flagging, something's wrong, you see
Rope director, won't you bury me?
There's a long hard book that needs reading
So do what you must, but don't touch
I'm ever so frightened
Come around, baby, take a look
No excuses for what you might do
I'm seeing, lady, things you'll never know
Run around, rabbit, won't you run run run?
There's a long hard book that needs reading
So do what you must, but don't touch
I'm ever so silent
